The BMW 4 Series fuel tank cap switch is a sensor switch, not a physical one, and the sensor switch is located on the fuel tank cap. When the central locking system is unlocked, simply walk up to the fuel tank cap and press it lightly to open it. The BMW fuel tank cap consists of two parts: an outer and an inner cap. The inner cap can be opened by twisting it manually. Here is some relevant information about the fuel tank: 1. The fuel tank is in a semi-closed state only during refueling; otherwise, it remains fully sealed. However, as the vehicle ages and is used over time, sediment and impurities inside the tank will accumulate, inevitably entering the engine through the fuel supply system. Over time, this can cause damage to the vehicle. 2. The fuel tank itself has protective measures in place to waterproof and insulate. If the vehicle frequently idles for long periods, it may require a fuel system cleaning or filter replacement by around 30,000 kilometers. Otherwise, if the fuel line becomes clogged and the tank's internal pressure rises too high, the car may experience shaking while driving. Under high pressure, the fuel tank is highly susceptible to cracking, which can lead to fuel leakage in severe cases and increased fuel consumption.

What is a 6DCT transmission?

DCT stands for dual-clutch transmission, which is a product developed based on manual transmissions. The structure of this transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission. DCT Transmission: The main body of a DCT transmission is a manual transmission, and it can also be considered an upgraded version of a manual transmission. A DCT transmission has two sets of clutches, primarily responsible for shifting odd-numbered gears and even-numbered gears (including neutral gear), respectively. During operation, these two sets of clutch plates alternate to complete the upshifting and downshifting tasks of the DCT transmission. DCT transmissions generate a significant amount of heat: During the shifting process, the friction plates of the two clutches generate a large amount of heat due to extensive friction. Especially when driving in congested urban areas, frequent stop-and-go conditions occur, leading to a high frequency of gear shifts. As a result, the transmission clutches need to work continuously, causing the DCT transmission to produce a substantial amount of heat.

Can the seat belt in the car be replaced?

Automobile seat belts can be replaced. Seat belts also require regular maintenance, especially those in the rear seats or the front passenger seat, which are used less frequently compared to the driver's seat. It is advisable for car owners to periodically inspect them to ensure they are smooth and operate smoothly when pulled. If there is any malfunction such as jamming, do not attempt to dismantle it yourself; instead, seek professional repair as soon as possible. Below are situations where seat belts must be replaced: 1. The internal retractor spring of the seat belt has aged, causing the belt to become too loose or fail to tighten promptly. If not replaced, in an emergency, a loose seat belt may allow the occupant to slip out, resulting in severe injury. 2. If the seat belt has once endured a strong tensile load during use, even if it appears undamaged, it should be replaced and not continued to be used. 3. If the car has been involved in a collision that caused the airbags to deploy, the seat belts must be replaced promptly.
