If you want to book a ticking or rattling noise repair in Wombourne, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
The main road through Wombourne is the A449 between Stafford and Newport, and the M5, M6, and M54 motorways are nearby. Since Wombourne is just four miles southwest of Wolverhampton and six miles west of Dudley, you could compare garages in all three locations to find one that best suits your requirements. If you need public transport in Wombourne while your vehicle is being repaired, National Express operates several bus services with stops on Withymere Lane and Meadow Lane.
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.
