If you want to book a ticking or rattling noise repair in Wallsend, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
Wallsend is in North Tyneside, just over three miles from Newcastle. It's on the northern side of the Tyne Tunnel, part of the A19 road. You must pay a toll for passing through the tunnel; you can either pre-pay (the cheaper option) or pay online by midnight the following day to avoid a fine. Wallsend Metro station is on Wooley Street; it is the only station in the UK with signs written in Latin.
Ticking and rattling are two closely related noises you might hear from your car. If you listen closely to where the sound is coming from and when it happens (while accelerating, for instance), you might be able to work out the cause.
The first thing to check is whether the engine oil is low, requiring a top-up - this is the best-case scenario. If your car is rattling and the sound is coming from the engine, it could be caused by a loose serpentine belt or timing chain. From the car's rear, it might be a loose exhaust or a broken catalytic converter, and the other possibility is worn suspension, which can cause rattling from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Possible explanations for ticking include worn spark plugs, knocking engine rods, dirty valve lifters and misaligned valves. You can learn more about these issues here.
Ticking and rattling noises should be taken seriously as they sometimes indicate a problem with the engine that could cause further damage if ignored.
