2011 1 Series 118d onboard computer diagnostics

[CleverPixel]

I have been examining the onboard computer to ascertain fluid levels, namely oil.
I am experiencing an Auto Start/Stop problem, which I assume is caused by the Brake Vacuum Sensor.
This prevents me from overcoming the mistake, thereby hindering my ability to navigate through the remaining content.When I long-press the BC button, it displays the error code, but that is the extent of my progress.

I am certain that I successfully resolved the issue before, but I cannot recall the specific actions taken. However, I distinctly remember it indicating "Check Ok," implying that there were no problems.
I believed I would still be able to verify everything.
While viewing a YouTube video, the individual elevated the lever twice to see the Oil status. I will verify this tomorrow to see whether it allows me to proceed despite the current mistake.
I have seen two distinct methods for accessing the checks: either by long-pressing the BC button or by use the up/down lever.

Do you have any recommendations?

I would want to verify the washer fluid level, which may require a physical inspection beneath the hood.The jets were obstructed shortly after the vehicle purchase, and I am uncertain if this was attributable to insufficient fluid leading to dirt infiltration, since I did not get any notification.

Thank you

The sensor just provides a low fluid alert; it does not allow for the assessment of washer fluid levels. Blocked jets are not attributable to low fluid allowing dirt ingress. A accumulation of black sludge in the tank will obstruct the filter gauze.
Furthermore, I would not recommend relying on the oil level indicator on the dashboard; it is far more precise to extract the dipstick.

My last vehicle often indicated low fluid levels, however this one has not done so in five months. Consequently, I was concerned that the sensor could be malfunctioning, prompting me to contemplate filling up the fluid as a precaution.
I do not recall the garage's actions when little fluid was emitted from the jets, resulting in it just cascading down the floor.

I have not yet received the bill.
I must have replenished it when I believed it was empty, and the garage may have done so as well, although that has only occurred twice since February.

I was unaware that there was a dipstick, since I had thought it was only a sensor. Are you asserting that it has both?

A significant advantage is to use the dipstick if available.
When the automobile indicates that a top-up is necessary, it will need 1 liter, and operating an engine with such a minimal quantity is, in my opinion, inadvisable.
Is it only my perspective, or is it anything more?

The dark sludge is a challenging task to completely remove.

Thank you.

I waited as the garage examined the leak, which lasted around 20 minutes. He said that he put Milton fluid through it, since I had noted that it also had an odor.


I will promptly verify the dipstick.

I received a text/email from BMW confirming my forthcoming appointment, which included an option to add 1 liter of oil and another item that I cannot recall, but I clicked 'no.'

The dipstick is located on the nearside of the engine, towards the rear.

The stick on my device is black, making it inconspicuous.
