Will a Three-Cylinder Car Shake After Five Years of Use?
1 Answers
Three-cylinder cars will indeed shake after five years of use. When newly purchased, the shaking might not be noticeable, but over time, it tends to worsen. Engine components wear out and age with prolonged use, and even normal four-cylinder cars can develop shaking issues over time. The engine's operation consists of four steps: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Currently, mainstream four-cylinder engines have a lifespan of about 10 to 20 years. The shaking problem in three-cylinder engines becomes more severe in the later stages, but replacing components like engine mounts can alleviate the issue. The typical lifespan of a three-cylinder engine is approximately 10 to 15 years.
