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, I have this code 002c32 but I don't know which lambda probe it represents.

The car only shakes when it's cold, so I'm thinking of heating the lambda sensor, but what I don't know?

Hello Zach01, The error code 002C32 typically relates to the lambda probe (oxygen sensor) in bank 1, sensor 1. This sensor is located before the catalytic converter. If your car only shakes when it's cold, it could be due to the sensor not heating up properly. I would recommend having this sensor checked and replaced if necessary. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Lambda sensor upstream of catalytic converter (bosch) has been replaced. Nevertheless, the error message appears even if you delete it. Who can help?

Hello BAs21, If the error message persists even after replacing the lambda sensor, it could be due to a wiring issue or a problem with the engine control module. I would recommend checking the wiring and connections to the sensor for any signs of damage or corrosion. If these checks don't reveal any issues, it would be best to have a professional mechanic inspect the engine control module. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hello Abdulrahman, "Mixture Control" and "Mixture Control 2" errors typically indicate that the air-fuel mixture in your engine is not correct. This could be due to a number of issues, including a faulty oxygen sensor, a leaking fuel injector, a faulty mass air flow sensor, or even a vacuum leak. I would recommend starting with a check of these components. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it might be best to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress.

I'd like to know why my car has trouble starting from cold but then runs fine. It seems to be the fuel pump but I don't have a fault with it.

Hello Paulinho, Difficulty starting from cold could be due to a number of issues. It could be a weak battery, a problem with the fuel system such as a clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel injectors, or even a problem with the ignition system. If you don't have a fault with the fuel pump, I would recommend checking these other components. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it might be best to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hello everyone!!! On my series 218 d 150ch of 2017 I have the defect lambda probe without that no indicator lights without loss of power without black smoke without excessive conso. As soon as I take the highway I can clear the fault !!!! Should I still have it checked? Thank you for your answers.
