BMW transmission fluid requires regular replacement, with a recommended change interval of approximately 80,000 to 120,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, and its functions include ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. BMW's vehicle lineup includes models such as the BMW 5 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW X1, BMW X5, and BMW X3. Taking the BMW 5 Series as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm. The BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 135kW, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6500 rpm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Reasons for Diesel Engine Fuel Injector Not Spraying Fuel

Injector failures are primarily caused by needle valve issues due to contaminants in the diesel engine. The main reason is that the injector tip in the combustion chamber is exposed to prolonged high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Below are the causes and solutions: 1. Poor injector atomization: When injection pressure is too low, nozzle holes are worn with carbon deposits, or spring end faces are worn with reduced tension, the injector may open prematurely and close late, resulting in poor fuel atomization. For single-cylinder diesel engines, this prevents operation; for multi-cylinder engines, it causes power loss, black exhaust smoke, and abnormal engine noise. Additionally, oversized diesel droplets that fail to combust completely may flow down cylinder walls into the oil pan, raising oil levels, reducing viscosity, worsening lubrication, and potentially causing bearing seizure or cylinder scoring. Solution: Disassemble, clean, inspect, and recalibrate the injector. 2. Damaged injector return line: When needle valve pairs are severely worn or the needle valve body fits loosely with the injector housing, return fuel flow increases significantly (up to 0.1-0.3kg/h). A damaged or missing return line wastes this fuel. The return line must be intact and sealed to allow fuel to flow back to the tank. If connected to the diesel filter, its end should have a check valve to prevent backflow.
