About the impact of a damaged oxygen sensor on a BMW, the related introduction is as follows: 1. Abnormal vehicle signals: Oxygen sensor failure usually triggers a warning light, causing abnormal signal output. The engine may shake, produce popping sounds from the exhaust, emit a pungent odor, and even lead to an abnormal air-fuel ratio, resulting in black smoke emissions. If the front oxygen sensor is damaged, it cannot be used further and must be replaced with a new one. 2. Abnormal vehicle operation: Once the oxygen sensor or its connecting circuit malfunctions, it will not only cause excessive emissions but also worsen the engine's operating conditions. This can lead to symptoms such as stalling at idle, irregular engine operation, reduced power, and an imbalanced engine air-fuel mixture ratio, resulting in increased fuel consumption.

Is it normal for new car paint to have watermarks?

It is normal for new car paint to have watermarks, which is not a problem. The cause of watermarks is mineral deposits, that is, dry marks left by rainwater stains. Related information: 1. Removal method: If watermarks on the car paint cannot be wiped off, it means the watermarks have penetrated into the paint. Even cleaning wax cannot remove them, and only polishing can address the issue. 2. Precautions: However, it should be noted that although polishing can repair the paint surface, it is a consumable maintenance process. Polishing will reduce the thickness of the paint, so the number of polishing sessions should be minimized. Additionally, when choosing a beauty shop for polishing, it is advisable to select a professional and standardized one to avoid damaging the paint surface.

What are the reasons for smoke and a burning smell from a car's air conditioning compressor?

There are two main reasons for smoke and a burning smell from a car's air conditioning compressor: 1. Blocked air intake: This prevents hot air from being discharged, leading to heat buildup that can melt plastic components. The solution is to first check if the air intake is clear, then manually test whether the air vents are functioning normally, and listen for any unusual noises inside the air conditioning unit. 2. Aging car wiring: The electrical heating circuit may get burned by the heat, or internal plastic components may shift and overheat. If this is the cause, the car's air conditioning system needs to be disassembled for inspection and repair.
