BMW maintenance.

Setting the standard for service.

Regular BMW maintenance ensures you optimum safety and driving comfort – the keys to enjoying your BMW. Aided by our advanced onboard-maintenance system Condition Based Service (CBS*), your BMW tells you when maintenance work or wear-and-tear repair is due. With selected BMW diesel models with BMW BluePerformance technology incl. SCR catalytic converter, your vehicle also tells you when it is necessary to refill the AdBlue® solution.

Sensors on board of your BMW continuously monitor the status of individual wear-and-tear parts and vehicle fluids. The date of your next maintenance check is automatically displayed on the dashboard’s InfoDisplay. And Yes Bay Diagnostic can service & reset anything on your BMW (for about 45% less than the dealer) . 

This enables our BMW Service specialists @Bay Diagnostic to accurately assess repair and maintenance work, when your car is at our workshop. You benefit from a faster, more efficient and cost-effective service. 

*Older model series are equipped with a Service Interval Indicator (SII).
**Comes free of charge with the required options.

Belts and Hoses - Land Rover, BMW, Porsche

Your vehicle's belts and hoses are involved in processes within the cooling system, air conditioning system, charging system, and engine. These belts and hoses play crucial roles in functional operations inside your vehicle. The heater hose and radiator hose carry liquid coolant to and from the engine, radiator, and heater core. The timing belt is responsible for maintaining engine precision by synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, which move the engine's valves and pistons. However, not all vehicles contain timing belts. In place of timing belts, some vehicles use timing chains. On the outside of the engine, the serpentine belt transmits power from the front of the engine to other systems in the vehicle, like the air conditioning system and charging system. Some factors that contribute to wear and tear on your belts and hoses include vehicle age, mileage, belt tension, hose clamp failure, electrochemical degradation, and oil contamination. Routine maintenance and replacement of your vehicle's belts and hoses will prevent breakdowns and costly repairs in the long run.

BENEFITS OF BELTS & HOSES

When compared to other components in your car, belts and hoses have one of the shortest life spans. These items are constantly exposed to engine heat, vehicle vibrations, and harmful chemicals, which all have the potential to cause cracks and leaks. Some symptoms to be aware of for belts and hoses nearing failure include squeaking, screeching, or grinding noises that begin when starting your engine or appear during vehicle operation. It's worth noting that grinding sounds near belts are usually associated with a bad pulley bearing rather than the belt itself, as the pulley bearing may freeze up and ultimately lead to a belt replacement. Other symptoms of a bad belt or hose include loss of power, leaking coolant or other fluids, illuminated dashboard lights, rising steam from the engine, and air conditioning failure. While routine maintenance of belts and hoses is always important, summertime is an especially important season to keep an eye under the hood due to increased temperatures, which will accelerate deterioration of the rubber components. Since belts and hoses can be difficult to inspect visually, be sure to follow your manufacturer's recommendations for scheduled maintenance

Porsche Oil Separators

Porsche Engine Oil/Air Separators 

The Engine oil air separator directly affects the engine crankcase atmosphere because basically, all Porsche’s from 1980 on, including the current 986, 987, 996, 997, Cayman & Cayenne engines, all are positive crankcase type systems.  This means that the engine crankcase has vacuum supplied from the intake manifold to collect and burn the residual combustion by-products or blow-by in the crankcase by running it through the engine again, all in an effort to lower the vehicle emissions.

On most occasions when the oil separator fails, the low pressure (vacuum) in the engine crankcase rises to an unusually or abnormally high figure and, more likely than not, it ends up drawing engine oil into the intake system.

This usually fouls spark plugs and, in rare cases, causes damage to the oxygen (O2) sensors, catalytic converters and possibly various other sensitive fuel injection components. In extreme cases an oil separator failure with excessively high vacuum can actually cause the rear main seal to make noise, i.e. “honk”.

Interestingly enough, the only way to test the oil separator is to periodically test the engine crankcase vacuum with a water filled Manometer (aka: a Slack Tube tester), which is an ultra sensitive vacuum gauge.  On BMW’s and Porsche’s the engine crankcase vacuum is normally around 5 inches) of water.  When oil separators fail the crankcase vacuum can rise to the 8-12 range and even higher, depending on the extent of the failure.

When the oil separator starts to fail on Boxster’s (986 & 987) you generally start to see a substantial amount of smoke from the exhaust tailpipe.  When the oil separator completely fails, the engine exhaust tail pipe smoke can reach dangerous proportions.  You’ll think your Boxster has turned into an anti-mosquito smoke machine.

When the oil separator fails on 996-997s, it usually does NOT create the same exhaust tailpipe smoke as a Boxster. It is almost like being a silent killer (and a costly surprise).

Sometimes when an oil separator fails, it can cause the Check Engine Light (CEL) to come on. you may not be experiencing any other symptom, but the CEL should get your attention.  This condition should be checked out utilizing a Porsche factory PIWIS tester.  It is important to see exactly what is going on, otherwise, you’re just guessing.
