    2023 GWM Cannon is shaking on start-up

    Great Wall Great Wall Advice

    My 2023 GWM Cannon shakes on initial start-up, but not after that. It's brand new with just 650km covered.

    It's not uncommon for diesel engines to give a little shiver as they start up. There's a fair bit going on inside a diesel engine, with some heavy bits and pieces moving around inside it that can cause vibrations. This is why – along with the way either engine ignites its fuel - a diesel engine is, typically, not as smooth as a petrol engine.

    But the sensation should last only a second before the engine settles to an even, relatively smooth idle. You may also find that as you put more kilometres on the car, the engine will smooth out a little.

    But if you're still concerned, log this behaviour with the dealership. Your GWM has a seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, so if there really is a problem down the track to do with this vibration, you'll be covered as you've recorded a pre-existing condition.
