The fuel filter on the BMW F18 is located on the left side of the transmission. Main functions of the fuel filter: The primary function of the BMW fuel filter is to remove impurities from the gasoline. If the fuel filter becomes excessively dirty or clogged, the main symptoms include: slow or unresponsive acceleration when pressing the gas pedal, difficulty starting the car, and sometimes requiring 2-5 attempts to start the engine. Fuel filter replacement interval: Most engines are equipped with a disposable, non-cleanable paper fuel filter. The replacement interval is generally 10,000 kilometers. If the gasoline used has fewer impurities, replacing it every 15,000-20,000 kilometers is also acceptable. The fuel filter has inlet and outlet arrows marked on it; make sure not to install it backwards during replacement.

Is a Narrow Right Side During Right Reverse Parking Caused by Turning the Steering Wheel Too Early or Too Late?

Right reverse parking with a narrow right side is caused by turning the steering wheel too early. This situation generally occurs due to insufficient estimation of the left rear space. Solution for turning the steering wheel too early during right reverse parking: Turn the steering wheel back half a turn or a full turn (the exact amount depends on the situation, usually 3/4 of a turn). Wait until the right rear wheel enters the parking space and passes the upper right corner (do not turn the steering wheel back immediately when the right rear wheel just enters). Continue turning the steering wheel fully to the right. When the car body is almost but not completely straight, straighten the steering wheel.

Does Running a Yellow Light Count as Running a Red Light?

The traffic police department states that according to the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and a vehicle continues to force its way through, being caught in such a scenario will also be considered as running a red light. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic monitoring devices capture three photos as evidence for determining a red-light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be deemed as running a red light. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When arrow signals are present, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as stopping might be difficult and could result in crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you encounter a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

What are the disadvantages of car covers?

Generates water vapor that causes oxidation of metal components in the car, affecting the paint. Here are the relevant details: 1. Reasons: Enclosed spaces can produce water vapor, and some car covers do not meet quality standards. 2. Precautions: Ensure the car body is clean before covering it with a car cover. A car cover is not a completely snug protective film; it will shift relative to the car body. If the car body is not clean, the cover will rub dust and fine sand particles back and forth on the paint surface, similar to mild grinding, which can easily damage the paint. During the covering process, minimize friction between the cover and the paint surface. Even if the inner side has soft materials, prolonged friction can still harm the paint.
