Oil leakage in BMW engine transmission can be caused by poor sealing gaskets in various parts of the transmission, damage to the mating surfaces of the transmission case, failure of the sealing paper gasket, or loose transmission cover screws. Below is additional relevant information: Corresponding repair measures: If the mating surfaces of the transmission case are damaged, appropriately thicken the paper gasket at the damaged area. If oil leakage persists, welding repair should be performed. If the sealing paper gasket is damaged, replace it with an identical one. If the transmission cover screws are loose, tighten them promptly. Methods for handling oil leakage: Apply sealant to the leakage point, which involves cleaning the surface oil sludge before sealing with adhesive. This method does not require disassembling the transmission structure. If traces of fluid flow are observed on the transmission oil surface, the owner should promptly take the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. Symptoms of transmission oil leakage: difficulty in starting the vehicle, severe impact sensation in low gears, and slow vehicle speed despite increased engine RPM when pressing the accelerator.

What is the appropriate position to adjust the rearview mirror?

Adjust the rearview mirror to a position where approximately one-third of the sky and two-thirds of the ground are visible. Below is relevant information about the rearview mirror: 1. Function: When there is an emergency situation ahead requiring sudden braking, observing the central rearview mirror allows you to see if there is a vehicle following too closely behind. This enables you to adjust the braking intensity appropriately based on the distance to the vehicle in front, helping to avoid a rear-end collision. 2. Principle: The side rearview mirrors outside the car windows are convex mirrors, which utilize the principle of light divergence to expand the field of view, thereby better noticing the situation of vehicles behind. The image formed is the intersection point of the reverse extension lines of reflected light rays and does not actually exist, hence the image is virtual.

How to Repair a Broken Car Window?

Automotive glass cracks are generally repaired using specialized repair tools and repair fluid. The repair fluid is filled into the crack through the repair tool, solidifying to eliminate the gap, thereby achieving the purpose of repair. Here are some considerations: 1. It is important to note that if the glass develops cracks, those that can be repaired should be addressed as soon as possible, and those that require replacement should be replaced promptly. This is because, during driving, the windshield must withstand wind resistance and constant vibrations. Over time, small cracks can gradually extend, lengthen, and expand in area. At this point, glass that could have been repaired may only be replaceable. 2. Long cracks in automotive glass are difficult to repair. After all, the effectiveness of repairing large cracks is not ideal, often leaving noticeable marks. Moreover, the strength of the repaired windshield cannot be guaranteed, posing a risk of re-cracking and potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the glass.
