Knocking can have several causes, from combustion-related problems to internal mechanical wear. It should be checked promptly.

Why the sound isn't the whole story

The sound itself isn't always enough to identify the fault, but it gives the technician a useful starting point for further investigation.

What to do

If your engine suddenly sounds different, get it checked before the problem gets worse.

DB Autos can investigate a knocking engine. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
