3 Answers
If vibration issues occur in later stages, it is necessary to replace the new engine mounts, which can solve the engine vibration problem. The Lynk & Co 03 is a compact sedan under the Lynk & Co brand, with a wheelbase of 2730 mm, and dimensions of 4639 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, and 1472 mm in height. More details are as follows: 1. The Lynk & Co 03 uses three engines: a low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 156 horsepower and a maximum torque of 245 Nm. The engine's maximum power speed is 5000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1450 to 4000 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. The high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. The engine's maximum power speed is 5500 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4000 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 4. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 190 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The engine's maximum power speed is 4700 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1400 to 4000 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
I've driven quite a few cars and helped a friend with the three-cylinder vibration issue on the Lynk & Co 03. Three-cylinder engines are inherently unbalanced and more prone to vibration after prolonged use, especially at higher mileage. The main reason is the aging of engine mounts - if the rubber mounts crack, the vibration damping effect disappears, so they should be inspected and replaced first. The ignition system also needs attention; worn spark plugs causing unstable ignition can worsen vibrations, so it's recommended to replace them every 30,000 km. If the fuel injectors are heavily carbon-fouled, incomplete combustion occurs - regular cleaning or using fuel additives can help. Also check if the manufacturer has any ECU software updates to optimize engine balance. Using full synthetic oil for better lubrication reduces friction. If vibrations become severe, get a professional inspection - don't ignore it since safety comes first, and you can also check the driveshaft or suspension alignment. Regular maintenance is key; don't skimp on replacement parts.
I've been driving my Lynk & Co 03 for two to three years, and it started to develop minor vibrations later on. Not wanting to spend too much, I looked for cost-effective solutions. Mainly, replacing the engine mount bushings to buffer the vibrations—buying parts online and installing them myself cost just a few dozen yuan, don't wait until they crack. Next, check the spark plugs; if they're black, clean them or replace them with new platinum ones for better performance. Adding fuel system cleaner to remove carbon deposits once a month can help reduce vibrations. Avoid stomping on the accelerator and keep idle speed steady to reduce engine load. Change the engine oil regularly every 5,000 kilometers, and replace the oil filter to keep it clean. If the vibrations are severe, I've tried stopping and restarting the car to see if it helps; if not, head to a roadside repair shop immediately—don't delay. A small tip: listen for unusual noises when the engine is running; if they're loud, avoid long-distance driving—safety comes first. Shared these tips with my WeChat group, and everyone found them simple and effective.
