Importance of the Oil Levelling Sensor

🔧 The oil levelling sensor is a crucial component in maintaining the health of your BMW engine. It ensures the engine receives the right amount of lubrication by monitoring the oil level within the engine sump. This prevents engine overheating and reduces friction between moving parts, thus prolonging the engine's life.

How the Sensor Works

🛠️ The sensor operates by constantly measuring the oil level and sending data to the car's ECU (Engine Control Unit). If the oil level falls below a certain threshold, it triggers a warning light on the dashboard, alerting the driver to add oil and prevent potential engine damage.

Consequences of a Faulty Sensor

⚠️ A malfunctioning oil levelling sensor can lead to catastrophic engine failure. The inability to track oil levels may result in the engine running without adequate lubrication, causing excessive wear and tear on engine components. Ignoring this issue can result in costly repairs or the need for engine replacement.
