Sometimes, when you are driving around Holyoke, you might hear an unusual sound coming from your engine. If your engine makes noises that it shouldn't make, you should bring your vehicle to the Northampton Ford Service Center. Here are some common engine noises that require immediate attention.
Clicking or Tapping
Have you ever heard an unusual clipping or tapping sound in your vehicle? If so, there are a few potential causes for the anxiety-inducing sound. A common cause can be worn parts in the engine. Another issue can be low oil pressure. You can use your vehicle's dipstick to ensure you have enough oil.
Rattling
An odd rattling sound from your engine might sound like a rattlesnake, but the real cause is likely a loose camshaft belt. This is an issue for an expert Ford technician at our Service Center to diagnose and repair.
Squealing When You Accelerate
When you press down on the accelerator on the road in Amherst, you just want your vehicle to go faster. You certainly don't want to hear a squealing sound. If you do hear squealing when you accelerate, it is probably an issue with the fan belt.
Grinding
Few sounds are as alarming to hear while driving than a loud grinding noise. This sound usually indicates an issue with the brakes, not the engine. Your brake pads might be worn down, which causes the metal under the pads to grind against the wheel cylinders, causing the unpleasant noise.
