Is your car showing signs of wear and tear? Gateshead LG Motors, led by our expert mechanics Lenny and Joe, are here to help. We're based in Gateshead and specialise in providing professional vehicle servicing and repairs. Here are some common issues we handle:
Vauxhall Insignia: Watch out for water pump failures after 80,000 miles. A failed water pump can cause serious engine damage. Get it checked early!
Ford Fiesta (1.0 Litre EcoBoost): Commonly faces issues with the wet timing belt breaking down inside the engine, leading to blockages and internal damage. Address this before it causes major problems!
Ford Mondeo: Known for steering rack issues where the electronic rack may fail, causing stiff steering and traction control warnings. Let us inspect and fix it for you.
Ford Fiesta (All Models): Rear axle bushes often cause a knocking noise at the rear. We can diagnose and replace these to restore smooth driving.
Vauxhall Corsa (1.0, 1.2, 1.4): If you hear a rattle on cold mornings, it could be the start of timing chain issues due to lack of maintenance. Don’t wait—get it checked out immediately!
