Recently, my Vauxhall Astra has been making a loud knocking noise whenever I accelerate or turn the engine on. It seems to be coming from the engine area. I'm worried that this could be a sign of a bigger issue. What could be causing this noise and how can I fix it?
ReplyThe knocking noise could be caused by a number of issues such as worn out engine bearings or a loose engine mount. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Astra and it turned out to be a loose exhaust bracket. I would recommend checking all the brackets under the car to see if any need tightening.
It's also possible that the knocking noise is coming from the suspension components. Have a mechanic inspect the suspension and make any necessary repairs.
