The main causes of drivetrain malfunction in BMWs include the vehicle's computer failing to respond promptly, leading to program execution issues; damage to the fuel pump or fuel pump sensor; faulty fuel injectors; defective ignition coils; damaged or carbon-fouled spark plugs; and a malfunctioning turbo wastegate. Symptoms of the Malfunction: When the accelerator is pressed abruptly, a drivetrain malfunction warning may appear, sometimes accompanied by vehicle shaking. Overview of Drivetrain Malfunction: Drivetrain malfunction typically refers to issues with components such as the clutch, transmission, universal joint, final drive, differential, and axle shafts. However, in practice, many unrelated problems—like a faulty fuel pump, injectors, solenoid valves, sensors, or even a damaged screw—can trigger a "drivetrain malfunction" warning.

Is it bad to fill up the gas tank in summer?

In this case, it is not recommended to fill up the car's gas tank in summer. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Filling up the tank too much causes gasoline to evaporate faster: Faster gasoline evaporation first leads to energy waste. Secondly, the evaporated gasoline smell can flow into the car cabin, and long-term inhalation can affect human health. 2. Filling up the tank too much can severely reduce the performance of the carbon canister: This ultimately leads to issues such as engine shaking and increased fuel consumption. 3. There are certain safety hazards: The car's gas tank has a vent hole at the top. If the tank is filled up, gasoline can easily overflow from the vent hole. If there happens to be an open flame, the overflowing gasoline is very likely to ignite.

What Causes Body Resonance at 140 km/h on the Highway?

High-speed body resonance at 140 km/h is mainly caused by wheel imbalance or tire pressure issues. Below are the specific reasons and solutions: 1. Wheel imbalance: When there is a wheel imbalance issue, the most common symptom is high-speed vibration. Not only does the steering wheel shake, but you can also clearly feel the body vibrating, which can also lead to the so-called "tire cupping" phenomenon (tire cupping refers to uneven wear of the tire tread pattern, with one side wearing more heavily than the other). Solution: Rebalancing the wheels can resolve this issue. 2. Tire pressure issues: When there are tire pressure problems, the steering wheel may also shake. Solution: Balance the tire pressure.

What happens when the engine is under heavy load?

Under heavy load, the engine may experience overheating of the generator coil, aging of the insulation layer, and burning out of the generator coil. Generators have an overload range: Each generator has an allowable overload range. Short-term overload (usually only a few seconds) is not problematic. However, prolonged operation under overload can lead to overheating of the generator coil, aging of the insulation layer, and burning out of the generator coil. Overload without reaching the burning point: If the overload does not reach the point of burning out the generator, even if the machine can still operate, the engine is already working under excessive load. Prolonged operation under such conditions will cause significant abnormal wear and tear on the engine, greatly reducing its lifespan. Additionally, fuel consumption will increase accordingly, resulting in poor economic efficiency.
