Common BMW Service Issues and How to Repair a BMW
BMW cars are known for their performance, comfort, and style. While BMWs are a famous high-end luxury vehicle, they do have some common problems that a famous BMW service garage in Dubai should address if they appear.
1. Faulty Automatic Headlights
In most weather conditions, automatic headlights are convenient. These lights eliminate the need for the driver to flip the headlights on while operating your luxury BMW manually. However, some BMW cars have problems with automatic headlights staying on even when not required. This draw on the vehicle’s battery can result in electronic issues. It is hard to detect automatic headlight problems. If a BMW owner is experiencing mysterious electronic issues and battery problems, find a mechanic who offers BMW Services and has experts to address the issues.
2. Discharging Batteries
Most luxury BMW batteries last between 4 to 6 years. However, a few BMW owners have found problems with their batteries discharging overnight. While battery troubles can stem from various technological problems in the vehicle, some common issues include accidentally opening doors or leaving lights on. Following smart methods may keep the vehicle’s systems engaged overnight, resulting in lower battery efficiency. We suggest you visit a BMW Service center to diagnose and fix the issue properly.
3. Corrosion Of Alloy Wheels
Many luxury BMW owners love their BMW alloys. However, some cars exhibit premature corrosion on the wheels. No solution exists to fix the corrosion, but to find out what options exist for prevention and replacement, talk to BMW mechanics. It is also recommended to avoid automatic car washes, as they use high-powered pressure washers to spray the vehicle’s wheels. High-pressure water, automatic car washes, and other forces water underneath even the tiniest blemishes.
4. Malfunctioning Fuel Pumps
One of the most frustrating problems luxury BMW owners face is a failing fuel pump. In 2016, the company recalled over 135,000 vehicles for issues with the high-pressure fuel pump. Other BMW models have also had trouble with fuel pump problems. Often, these problems are a result of issues with the wire contacts. Some common symptoms of fuel pump problems in BMW vehicles include sputtering at high speed, the engine refusing to turn, or poor acceleration. Contact the BMW Service garage to fix the problem.
5. Faulty Electronic Systems
Not all BMW owners experience problems with their lovely vehicles’ electronic systems. In 2018, BMW’s problems caused a recall that affected 300,000 U.K. vehicles. However, BMW did not reveal the exact cause of the power supply problems that resulted in the recall. Some luxury BMW owners have noticed other issues related to the vehicle’s electronics. Expert BMW mechanics should address any suspected electrical problems as soon as possible.
6. Door Handle Problems
BMW owners have reported problems with their door handles, especially on the BMW X5 SUV. A common symptom is the normal physical operation of the door handle without the door opening and unlocking. The solution to this issue is most often a proper replacement of the door locking mechanism. Make sure you take the vehicle to a BMW service garage, as this requires specialist tools.
7. Coolant System and Heater Core Issues
Some luxury BMW owners are reporting vehicle heater core and coolant system issues. Often, the first symptom of a coolant system problem is the vehicle overheating or not producing enough heat. The sweet smell is coming from the heater. Another symptom is the smell of leaking coolant. Be sure to visit the reputable AL Quoz BMW Service garage if any problem arises. Without a functioning heater, no one wants to face difficulties in an Oregon winter!
The coolant system of your vehicle is also known to have faults. Most vehicle coolant systems last between 80000 and 120000 miles. The best way to prevent problems with the coolant system is to keep up with regular maintenance.
8. Leaking Oil Filter Gasket
The benefits of owning a BMW sometimes come with the cost of a leaking oil filter gasket. The gasket that connects the engine to the oil filter becomes brittle over time. Ensure you take the vehicle in for regular maintenance because if this issue is caught early enough, it is relatively simple to fix. However, if the filter gasket is left alone for an extended period of time, the repair will cost more and take longer. The best way to avoid a leaky oil filter gasket is to ensure the car gets its routine oil change on time.
