Signs Your Engine May Need Replacement
Acting early can prevent catastrophic failure and save on additional costs:
- Persistent knocking, tapping, or rattling noises from the engine bay
- Loss of compression, power, or acceleration
- Excessive smoke (blue, black, or white) from the exhaust
- Engine oil mixing with coolant (milky residue under oil cap)
- Overheating or frequent temperature fluctuations
- Metal shavings in the oil or oil filter
- Repeated breakdowns or non-starting issues
- The engine warning light keeps returning even after repairs
If you recognise any of these, book an engine diagnostic and inspection at MTS Croydon before further damage occurs.
