What is the reason for the abnormal noise in the Lynk & Co 01?
3 Answers
There are many possible reasons for noise during the operation of the Lynk & Co 01: it may be due to the engine oil. Inferior quality engine oil, failure to change the oil for a long time, or lack of engine oil can easily increase friction between the valves and guides, as well as in hydraulic lifters, making various sounds in the engine more pronounced. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption in the engine. It is known as the "blood" of the car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of the lubricant.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 01 for several years, and the main causes of abnormal noises are likely suspension system issues, such as aging shock absorbers or loose screws, which can cause creaking sounds when going over speed bumps. Brake components can also produce friction noises after rusting in rainy weather, affecting braking feel. Interior parts like loose door panels or seat buckles can create constant squeaks on bumpy roads. In the engine compartment, an overly tight belt or a faulty fan can also lead to continuous noise. When checking, find a quiet road to drive slowly, paying attention to the location and timing of the noise, such as during turns or acceleration. Personally, I think this shouldn't be ignored—get it checked at a professional shop as soon as possible to prevent small issues from becoming big ones.
During daily driving, I've noticed that the Lynk & Co 01 often produces abnormal noises, especially a metallic clunking sound from the chassis after driving on bumpy roads, possibly due to insufficient suspension support. The noise near the steering wheel during turns might come from wear in the steering system. Loose interior trim is more common, with the dashboard squeaking as the car ages. Short-term brake noise after rain is acceptable, but if it persists, the brake pads should be checked. I always regularly inspect tire wear and body fasteners, as safe driving is crucial.
