Components of BMW Inspection 2
Engine Oil and Filter Change
One of the primary tasks during Inspection 2 is the replacement of engine oil and oil filter. Fresh, clean oil is essential for lubricating engine components and ensuring optimal performance. By replacing the oil and filter, we help maintain engine health and prevent premature wear and tear.
Air Filter Replacement
The air filter plays a crucial role in ensuring that clean air reaches the engine for combustion. Over time, the air filter can become clogged with dirt and debris, restricting airflow and reducing engine efficiency. During Inspection 2, we replace the air filter to maintain proper engine function and fuel efficiency.
Spark Plug Replacement
Spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders, powering your BMW's performance. During Inspection 2, we inspect and replace the spark plugs as needed to ensure smooth engine operation and optimal fuel efficiency.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement
The cabin air filter is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy environment inside your BMW's interior. Over time, the cabin air filter can become clogged with dust, pollen, and other contaminants, affecting air quality and HVAC system performance. Inspection 2 includes the replacement of the cabin air filter to ensure fresh, clean air inside your vehicle.
Fluid Checks and Top-Offs
During Inspection 2, our technicians perform a thorough inspection of all fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Any fluids that are low or degraded are topped off or replaced to maintain proper levels and ensure optimal performance of your BMW's systems.
Inspection of Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses play critical roles in the operation of various systems in your BMW, including the cooling system and power steering. During Inspection 2, we inspect these components for signs of wear, cracking, or damage and replace them as necessary to prevent unexpected failures and ensure reliable performance.
