Guide to Cleaning Sensors

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Engine

There are certain actions you must take to clean the sensors and others you must avoid. Do not use corrosive liquids like gasoline or alcohol, do not use compressors, and do not immerse the sensors in liquids. To optimally perform this cleaning operation, it is best to work on a table or have a flat surface to work on. Use sprays typically used in electronics to clean circuits. It is advisable to perform this operation while keeping the spray nozzle at a certain distance, about 4-5 millimeters. The liquid from the spray used dries quickly.
