What is the reason for slight shaking when the Lynk & Co 01 is idling?
4 Answers
The slight shaking when the Lynk & Co 01 is idling is a normal phenomenon. If the shaking is more severe, it is necessary to check the engine, spark plugs, ignition coils, or clean the throttle and fuel injectors one by one. Taking the 2020 Lynk & Co 01 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4512mm, width 1857mm, height 1689mm, wheelbase of 2734mm, and a curb weight of 1736kg. The 2020 Lynk & Co 01 has a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 143ps, maximum power of 105kw, maximum torque of 215nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've driven the Lynk & Co 01, and slight idling vibration is quite common with various possible causes. Engine carbon buildup is relatively common - dirty throttle body and intake manifold can lead to uneven air intake causing unstable idling; aged spark plugs or faulty ignition coils may cause irregular cylinder operation resulting in vibration; worn engine mounts amplify engine vibrations and may damage other components over time; there's also fuel system issues where clogged fuel injectors affect fuel supply balance. I suggest starting with simple checks - examine if spark plugs need replacement, and cleaning the throttle body is cost-effective with good results. Regular maintenance should include frequent use of fuel system cleaners, and highway driving helps remove carbon deposits. Don't delay addressing issues as worsening vibration may lead to uncontrolled idling, increasing safety risks. In summary, early troubleshooting can save significant costs.
Idle vibration occasionally occurs on the Lynk & Co 01, and I've encountered it several times. The main causes include carbon buildup, especially after frequent stop-and-go city driving, which leads to dirt accumulation on engine components; aging spark plugs or ignition coils can cause irregular vibrations when sparks are not delivered accurately; deteriorated engine mounts are also a hidden danger, as their reduced cushioning effect allows engine vibrations to transmit into the cabin; additionally, intake system leaks or ECU parameter deviations may contribute. From my experience, regular maintenance is key—performing carbon cleaning every 10,000 kilometers or using high-quality fuel additives for prevention. If the vibration is mild, check if it's only noticeable during cold starts, which usually indicates a carbon buildup issue. Untreated, it can lead to increased fuel consumption and higher daily expenses, so don't take it lightly.
The Lynk & Co 01 has slight idling vibrations, and the common causes are quite simple. Mostly, it's due to excessive carbon buildup in the engine. A dirty throttle body can affect airflow, leading to unstable idling. Additionally, spark plugs that have been used for several years need replacement—uneven ignition can cause vibrations. Worn engine mounts can also amplify the sensation of vibration. During inspection, try adding a bottle of fuel cleaner first. If the vibration lessens, it indicates a carbon buildup issue. If necessary, perform a throttle body cleaning. Normally, avoid prolonged idling while driving; running at high speeds can help clear carbon deposits. If there's no change, visit a repair shop for further inspection.
