My Engine is making noises what should I do?

If your car is making unusual noises, it's essential to address the issue promptly to prevent potential further damage. Here are steps you can take:

Identify the Noise: Try to identify the type of noise your car is making. Is it a squealing, grinding, knocking, rattling, or any other specific sound? The type of noise can give you clues about the potential issue.

Take Note of When the Noise Occurs: Pay attention to when the noise occurs. Is it during acceleration, braking, turning, or when the engine is idling? This information can help technicians diagnose the problem more effectively.

Check for Visible Issues: Inspect your vehicle for any visible issues. Look under the car for leaks, check the tyres for damage, and examine the engine bay for loose or disconnected components.

Schedule a Professional Inspection: If you're unable to identify or address the issue on your own, it's advisable to schedule a professional inspection at a Service My Vehicle garage. Experienced technicians can diagnose the problem accurately and recommend the necessary repairs.

Avoid Delaying Repairs: If your car is making concerning noises, it's crucial not to delay repairs. Ignoring unusual sounds may lead to more severe and costly issues down the road.

Contact your nearest Service My Vehicle garage for expert advice and reliable car repairs.

What is involved when checking for engine repairs?

When checking for engine repairs, our technicians first identify the cause of the problem and develop a repair plan.

Depending on the severity of the issue, the repair process can range from a minor adjustment to a complete engine overhaul.

Typically, this involves thoroughly inspecting the engine, removing damaged parts, sourcing the necessary replacements, and installing and testing new components.

How to prevent engine problems?

While not every engine breakdown is avoidable, regular maintenance can significantly extend your engine's lifespan and performance. Routine tasks like oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid adjustments for the radiator and transmission are essential.

Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule helps you identify and address engine issues early, preventing them from escalating into more serious and costly problems.

Is my car dangerous to drive?

If you experience severe issues with your vehicle such as loss of power, complete brake failure, or a significant fluid leak, it's unsafe to drive your car. In such cases, it's crucial to seek immediate assistance. 

Schedule a comprehensive inspection at a Service My Vehicle garage to diagnose the issue and ensure the safety of your vehicle on the road. 

Always prioritise your safety and the safety of others when deciding whether to drive your car in questionable conditions.

What are the Common Signs of Turbocharger Issues?

Loss of Power: Your car may feel sluggish and take longer to reach desired speeds, especially while climbing hills or merging into traffic.

Increased Exhaust Smoke: Blue or gray smoke billowing from the exhaust indicates oil being burned due to internal turbo leaks.

Whistling or Whining Noises: A high-pitched whine from the engine bay, especially under acceleration, often points to damaged turbo bearings or compressor housing.

Check Engine Light: An illuminated check engine light could indicate related issues like low boost pressure or sensor malfunctions.

Reduced Fuel Economy: A failing turbo can worsen fuel efficiency due to increased engine effort to compensate for lost power.

How long typically does a turbo last?

Turbos are designed to last as long as the car, around 150,000 miles.

But they may wear prematurely if you drive particularly forcefully or there is premature damage to another engine component.
