Frequent problems
With long-term operation, even reliable BMW M54B25 engines can experience problems with overheating, misfiring, and high oil consumption.
If the engine overheats, see if the radiator needs to be cleaned, check the condition of the thermostat and the radiator cap. Helps to expel air from the cooling system.
High oil consumption in engines is associated with coking of the piston rings. We need to put on new rings. Also check the crankcase ventilation valve, it may need to be replaced.
When misfires are noticeable, the reason is the hydraulic lifters that need to be replaced.
If the red oil light is constantly on, you need to check the oil pump and oil cup. Another common problem is the failure of the DPRV. It should be borne in mind that the thread under the cylinder head is not highly reliable.
Timely diagnostics and replacement of worn parts will ensure the convenience and reliability of engine operation.
