What Are the Causes of Engine Shaking Without Fault in BMW Mini?

BMW Mini engine shaking is mainly caused by fuel-related issues and problems with the solenoid valve. Fuel-related causes of shaking: In cold winter weather, the engine may shake due to poor fuel atomization, large spark plug gaps, and other reasons. In summer, engine shaking is more commonly caused by fuel-related factors. High summer temperatures lead to increased fuel vapor. To meet environmental standards, fuel vapor is absorbed by the vehicle's activated carbon canister and then controlled by the solenoid valve to enter the engine's intake system, where it is ultimately burned. However, if the weather is excessively hot in summer, excessive fuel vapor can cause the solenoid valve to supply additional fuel to the engine, disrupting normal operation and resulting in vehicle shaking. Additionally, when the air conditioning is turned on, the engine load increases, making previously unnoticeable issues more likely to surface. Solenoid valve-related causes of shaking: If inspection reveals that the Mini engine shaking is due to a solenoid valve issue, simply replacing the Mini solenoid valve and clearing the fault code should resolve the problem. If severe engine shaking is caused by the Mini burning oil, a detailed repair addressing the root cause of oil burning—such as replacing valve seals or piston rings—will be necessary.

What Happens When Engine Oil Burns Out?

Burning out engine oil can damage the engine. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Oil consumption reaching 2 liters is considered oil burning: Severe oil burning is when it exceeds 2 liters but remains below the minimum scale. 2. Burning a certain amount of oil can harm the car: Mild oil burning leads to increased fuel consumption, insufficient power, and easy carbon buildup, which can cause difficulty in starting the engine and engine shaking. Severe oil burning results in significant oil consumption and severe engine wear. Once the oil is completely burned out, the engine will require major repairs. 3. Preventive measures for oil burning: Regularly check the oil level, perform scheduled car maintenance, and use high-quality engine oil.

Why is there water leaking under the car?

Reasons for water dripping under the car: 1. If it occurs after the air conditioning has been running for a while, this is a normal phenomenon. When the air conditioning is operating, moisture in the cabin condenses on the evaporator to form water droplets, which are then discharged outside the vehicle through the drain pan and drain pipe. 2. Check if the antifreeze in the radiator is low. If it is, promptly visit a 4S shop to inspect the cooling system for faults. 3. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car is also normal, commonly observed during winter. 4. When gasoline is injected into the cylinder and mixed with air, it undergoes complete combustion in the combustion chamber, primarily producing carbon dioxide and water. The water, in the form of vapor at high temperatures, is expelled into the atmosphere.
