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!

Problems with jerking when accelerating. Lambda sensor signal too low in overrun mode, too high at partial load

Hello. The intake manifold may be coked. Clean the agr valve and the former or have it cleaned. Please also check the agr cooler.

Hello Fsandovalgt, The error code 00032 typically relates to a problem with the vehicle's speed sensor. This sensor is responsible for sending speed data to the engine control unit. If it's faulty, it could cause issues with shifting gears, speedometer readings, and other vehicle functions. I would recommend having this sensor checked and replaced if necessary. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hello Felix, If the lambda sensor has already been replaced and you're still experiencing issues, it could be due to a problem with the fuel system or a vacuum leak. These could cause the air-fuel mixture to be off, leading to the jerking you're experiencing during acceleration. I would recommend having these systems checked. 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.

Only have the problem when the engine is between 50-70 degrees. Agr valve was replaced during the recall.

Hello Felix, If the problem only occurs when the engine is at a specific temperature range, it could be a temperature-dependent issue with the fuel system, such as the fuel injectors or fuel pressure regulator. It could also be a problem with the engine's coolant temperature sensor. I would recommend having these components checked. Please keep us updated on your progress.

What does the error mean: DME crankshaft - intake camshaft, reference?

Hello LarsB, The error "DME crankshaft - intake camshaft, reference" typically indicates a discrepancy between the positions of the crankshaft and the intake camshaft. This could be due to a faulty camshaft position sensor, a timing issue, or even a worn timing belt or chain. I would recommend starting with a check of the camshaft position sensor. 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 have replaced the 2 sensors before and after the catalytic converter Light is still on and error is still there despite reset

Hello Lars1, If replacing the oxygen sensors hasn't turned off your check engine light, check for exhaust leaks and inspect the catalytic converter for damage or clogging. Ensure the wiring and connectors for the sensors are secure and undamaged. Other engine issues like misfires or an improper fuel mixture can also affect the converter's performance. Consider driving the vehicle for a few miles to allow the system to recalibrate. If the problem persists, use CARLY OBD-II scanner for a more detailed diagnosis, or consult a professional mechanic for a thorough evaluation. Please keep us updated on your progress.
