Leading mechanic Scotty Kilmer has issued a critical warning to petrol and diesel drivers this autumn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Kilmer has stressed motorists need to \u201cstop driving immediately\u201d if they hear a particular noise coming from inside their vehicle.<\/p>\n

He has stressed that a clunking sound could indicate a major car issue which could cost thousands of pounds to repair.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Mr Kilmer said: \u201cIf your car clunks when you slow down I’m going to show you what it means.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow when you take your foot off the gas and decelerate and it clunks, pray that it’s something simple like a bad joint on your driveshaft.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a front-wheel drive car it\u2019s the joint here called the CV joint, that could make the noise. Or it could be a broken motor mount if the clunk comes from the front.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s rubber inside and if the rubber is all ripped you need to replace it. Now pray it\u2019s one of those.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to AutoDoc, repairs to a\u00a0damaged CV joint could cost between \u00a3300 and \u00a3500. Meanwhile,\u00a0ClickMechanic\u00a0said an engine mount usually costs between \u00a3110 and \u00a3220 to fix.\u00a0<\/p>\n
