What to Do if a Lynk & Co Car Has Abnormal Noises?

Here are the solutions for abnormal noises in Lynk & Co cars: Engine abnormal noise: Engine noise indicates that the technical state of a certain mechanism in the engine has changed. It is mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. If the noise comes from inside the engine, the owner usually cannot solve it on their own and should send it to a repair shop for inspection. Transmission abnormal noise: The transmission has many parts, and the causes of abnormal noise are relatively complex. It is recommended to send it to a professional repair shop for inspection. Tire abnormal noise: First, check whether the tire screws are tightened to eliminate the noise symptom. When the wheel hub screws are loose, a slight knocking sound may be heard when lightly braking downhill. If the tire makes a "whooshing" sound and the body shakes noticeably or the direction pulls to one side, it is likely a tire blowout, and the tire should be replaced immediately. If there is a metallic collision sound inside the tire while driving, it may be caused by damaged shock absorbers or bearings, and the car should be taken to a professional auto repair shop or 4S store for repair. Suspension abnormal noise: Since suspension components are not only related to ride comfort but also driving safety, it is essential to have them thoroughly inspected at an authorized 4S store. Brake abnormal noise: If the brake system emits a sharp metal friction sound, first check the thickness of the brake pads. If the thickness is normal, pressing the brakes hard a few times may alleviate the noise. If a "squeaking" sound occurs during braking, it is likely a warning sound from the brake pad wear indicator, indicating that the brake pads have exceeded their service limit. In this case, the car should be taken to a 4S store for inspection as soon as possible.

When I first got my Lynk & Co 03, I was also troubled by the rattling noise from the center console, especially the plastic cracking sound when going over speed bumps. Later, I found out it was caused by the vibrating sunglasses case in the glove box. To deal with rattles, you need to play detective first: if it squeaks during low-speed turns, check the half-shaft; if it screeches during braking, inspect the brake pads; if it creaks on bumpy roads, focus on the door panel clips. The slight crackling sound from the interior due to thermal expansion and contraction after summer sun exposure can actually be ignored. The easiest solution is to set your dashcam to vibration-triggered mode—record the rattle and take the video to the 4S shop, where the technician will understand immediately upon hearing it. Oh, and unfixed spare oil cans in the trunk storage box can also cause resonance rattles!

Our fleet of five Lynk & Co 05 vehicles has experience in dealing with common abnormal noise issues. The thumping sound from the chassis is likely caused by aging shock absorber top mounts, especially noticeable on cold mornings. For squeaky window operation, spraying WD-40 silicone lubricant into the guide rails usually solves the problem. If you hear a humming noise after new tire installation, it's probably due to uneven tire wear requiring a wheel alignment. Here's a tip: Have a friend drive while you sit in the passenger seat and move your body to position your ear closer to suspected areas for easier noise source identification. If all else fails, use the traditional method - insert thin foam strips into all potentially loose gaps to eliminate possibilities one by one. We recommend having the dealership tighten all chassis bolts every 20,000 km, as many abnormal noises originate from loose screws.

As a three-year owner of the Lynk & Co 01, I've dealt with three instances of abnormal noises. The first was due to dust accumulation in the sunroof tracks, which was resolved with precision instrument cleaner. The second involved the seatbelt buckle hitting the B-pillar, fixed by wrapping it with a loop of felt tape. Recently, I noticed a creaking sound from the steering column. After disassembling it myself, I found it was caused by friction from the steering column dust cover, and applying some lubricating grease silenced it. I recommend keeping automotive-specific lubricating grease, soundproofing felt strips, and interior plastic clips on hand—these can be bought as a full set on Taobao for just over ten yuan. Not all abnormal noises indicate a fault; aging rubber parts or friction between glass and seals are normal wear and tear. During the warranty period, just head to the 4S shop—they have specialized stethoscopes to quickly locate the issue.
