Problem with black smoke and loss of power in BMW X1 successfully resolved with lambda sensor repair

Greetings, I have a problem with my 2013 BMW X1 with gasoline engine and already 112458 kilometers on the speedometer. The latest symptoms are black smoke when accelerating and loss of engine power. In addition, the check engine light comes on and the engine runs rough. When accelerating, the car jerks and fuel consumption is higher than usual. The last time I had the car serviced, the garage asked me to pay a lot, so I'm worried about the costs involved. Apparently the whole thing revolves around the lambda sensor and its influence on the exhaust and air mixture. Have any of you ever had similar experiences, both with the symptoms and with high costs at the garage? How did it go for you and what did you do? Thanks in advance!

Hello Mazzam, Could you please provide more information about the issue, error codes if any and details about your vehicle, so that we can give you a better answer. Best Regards, CarlyAdminNik

The symptoms are black smoke on acceleration, loss of power with engine light (injection), but my X5 E53 3.0D has no lambda sensor....

Hello Pierre, Black smoke on acceleration and loss of power could be due to a number of issues, including a clogged air filter, faulty fuel injectors, or a problem with the turbocharger. Since your vehicle is a diesel, it doesn't have a lambda sensor, but it does have a Mass Air Flow sensor which could also cause these symptoms if it's faulty. I would recommend having these components checked by a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Error 002A99 keeps coming on despite new camshaft sensors and new engine adaptation. Recently, the engine stops shortly before stopping (without Start Stop) and then has to be restarted manually. What should I do?

Hello Gabriel, The error code 002A99 is related to the correlation between the crankshaft and exhaust camshaft. If you've already replaced the camshaft sensors and performed a new engine adaptation, it might be a timing issue or a problem with the variable valve timing system. I would recommend having these checked by a professional mechanic. If the problem persists, it might be best to have the engine control module inspected. Please keep us updated on your progress.

When I delete the engine fault code with carly, I get the following message, "high pressure ramp sensor plausibility problem" which means nothing to me.... Thanks in advance

Hello Pierre, The "high pressure ramp sensor plausibility problem" error message typically indicates an issue with the fuel system, specifically the high pressure fuel pump or the sensor that monitors its operation. This could potentially cause performance issues with your vehicle. I would recommend having your fuel system inspected by a professional mechanic to identify and rectify the issue. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hello Bonifacio, The error code 000032 related to "Gear monitoring 1" typically indicates a problem with the first gear in your transmission. This could be due to a mechanical issue, a software problem, or a faulty sensor. I would recommend having your transmission inspected by a professional mechanic. If the problem persists, it might be best to have the transmission control module inspected. Please keep us updated on your progress.
