Где находится

Inside each combustion-engine cylinder.

Как это работает

The piston transfers force through its wrist pin to the connecting rod; its crown and ring grooves manage heat and sealing.

Представьте это как

The plunger of a syringe pushed by expanding gas.

Признаки неисправности

Oil consumption, noise or compression loss may involve pistons, rings or cylinder wear.

Ресурс

Usually condition-based rather than a routine replacement. Lubrication, overheating and the exact engine affect wear.

Стоимость ремонта

Internal-engine work is usually labor-intensive. Diagnosis and the engine code determine the repair scope.

Особенность BMW

BMW piston shapes are tailored to combustion and valve clearance, so matching bore size alone is insufficient.

Применяется

BMW petrol and diesel engines; petrol-only systems are identified individually.
