2023 Electric MINI Cooper - Overview
Can u plz share the brand of the valve cover or the link you purchase the valve cover😅
09 Mini Cooper Base. The car spit/sputtered on my way home. Check engine light came on. Rough ible cranking up. Put on a new MAF sensor, still didn't fix it. Drove it down the road, and 3-5 miles in, started sputtered again. Threw code "2B4F, Mass Sensor Signal. Any thoughts? It has new fuel filter, plugs, coils, air filter, oil/oil filter. Checked the seal around gas cap. I got told it could be a vacuum leak around the valve cover gasket. (Little oil around it when I checked)
Hi, I have another video of the top reasons your mini runs rough. From the sound of it, it could be a bad throttle body. Refer to the video. I think it will help.
Would a preventative measure be to replace the fuel pump?
Its not a bad idea actually. Especially because it will come with the filter as well. So like a preventative maintenance service.
Hello, my friend has a 2006 bmw 525xi. Before we took anything apart his climate did not work at all. Any turn of the fan speed dial nothing would work maybe once in a blue moon he would get air sucked in through the fresh air vents. We replaced the blower motor first old one looked burned out and corroded. We swapped the resistor into the new one and plugged it in and plugged in the ccp. Fans spun and adjusted with the dial. We put it back together and then tried it and nothing. Everytime you plug the middle pin in the ccp that controls the heater and air conditioner system all the power goes dead. We replaced the air conditioner blower fuse and the old one wasn’t blown but the prongs were black. Any ideas? Still doesn’t work
Could be a bad control panel. But sometimes the wiring melts at the harness that plugs into the fan. Or the contacts are bad. Thats the only thing I can think of.
@@MikeMDs he tried a different climate control panel from a scrap yard with the same part number and still didn’t work.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
My son can't find a door on my 2017 mini
Thanks bro been going crazy lol
Glad I could help
My 2014 Mini Cooper s automatic with 172000 on the clock still going well but I always looking after the engine oil also I drive like a old men I don't drive on spot mode like I use to lol
Mike do you also have a video of ; cooler hose from the expansion tank to the top of the cylinder head, this is broken in my case.
No but it is a similar job. Easier actually.
None of them. Timeing chain issues
This doesn’t reset the service overdue message on the display
Wow good. Job thanks
Thank you too
Thanks alot for the info.
My pleasure!
Wow. This is insane. I’ve had this issue for 4 months now, found this video. And I literally just bought some zip ties from Walmart jacked the car up with my boy and we just took care of this so easily. Thank you man for making this video cause holy shit that noise was driving me insane i swear
Glad it worked out!
I bought a 2010 Cooper for my granddaughter and she went to college didn't want it. I hate it. I can't see the oil on the dip stick. I have spent more money on repairs than what I paid for it. I love driving it. I have a MGB 1980. This Cooper I don't recommend it. 132,000 automatic.
Yes I have a Mini Cooper S 2007 Engine Oil Starvation, I keep a Gallon of Oil in the Boot and Top up the Oil Regular.
Mike, thanks as the center contact on the bulb and mating contact in the socket were both badly oxidized. I owe you a bottle of Cutty!
Awesome!
Why does this not work on my car no matter how long I hold it just a menu pops up
What service are you trying to reset?
This was very informative
What happens if you added water in the coolant compartment
It wont hurt it.
Than's from Canada, Québec Montreal
You bet!
Just like my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. Thanks.
Right on!
What did you use to hold up the back of the top & cover while you did the repair? And how were you able to open the trunk to disconnect the battery while doing the repair, if you did disconnect same.
Hello...I have a similar issue but not as pronounced. I took it to a shop already and they claim they have no bad mounts. They were even thinking the issue may be internal to my transaxle/motor...which is highly unlikely given my car is a 2019 model. I was wondering where you are located and if I can perhaps bring my car in for an inspection as well. Thanks.
Hello we are in Upland CA, BMW-MINI MD's Maybe have the dealer diagnose it and once a quote is given have your other shop perform the repair. If that is an option.
@@MikeMDs Hello thanks. I already spent a few $$$ at the M SHOP to diagnose the problem for an hour and they found nothing per say regarding the mounts. They chalked it up to bearing run-outs as there were two other i3's there that had the same odd sounds...sort of a knock. It happens specifically at very low, almost from a stand still speed. For example, as I come to a stop but not quite, and then re-accelerate, that shift from just every so slightly rolling to accelerating produces that knock. Forward or backwards. Sometimes it's pronounced and other times not so much. The dealer wants a minimum of $300 even though my car is still CPO'd.
Of all the videos to help me diagnose my rough idle on my N14 r56, this was the answer. I had many but not all the symptoms of every other video, and I was really hoping to try anything, but replacing or servicing the timing chain (as this had been done only 20k miles earlier). This same solenoid was my issue and was SUCH an easy and cheap fix. We're back running smooth. Thank you very much.
I am very happy this helped in your case. Thank you for sharing.
Please do jcworks f56 next time 2019 Thanks for doing this. 🙏😇
If I get one in I will ! Thanks !
Hi mike. Just asking because I changed my Vanos valve and that still didn't fix the problem. Can I ask what do you think about the DME itself?
It could be the DME. It could be anything really.
Hey one other question. Would you always replace with another plastic unit or get a metal unit without the gasket and use rtv?
I believe there are metal ones available now which will be fine to use. Rtv isn't necessary if it is a high quality one.
What’s the proper engine temperature for a 2006 BMW 325i
When people are mentioning replacing coolant hoses after 5-10 years would you say all hoses are applicable or which would you recommend doing for a B48? Thanks
The upper radiator hose with bypass line if applicable , coolant expansion tank with cap, both hoses from expansion tank and the coolant connection hose shown in this video are the usual suspects.
R56 (2nd Generation) has Valvetronic from at least mid 2007 - non-S also. Watch out for cooling system issues and change the oil every 3-4k miles - DO NOT wait for the instrument cluster reminder, that is a ridiculously long service interval, and it killed a lot of these engines. Do regular oil and cooling system service, and don't ignore any of the warning lights. If you see one, get it checked immediately. Very fun little cars. Packed with quirky personality.
Appreciate your input!
my 128i i've owned for 3k miles just started having white fumes. I drive it like a grandma and runs just fine. it's in reduced power mode so i'm guessing something's actually wrong. just had the engine steam cleaned since there's a small ofhg leak.... i hate life.
I have a 2011 bmw 328ixi n51 engine with 200k miles and it's the best. I take care of it and do all the work on it myself. I used to own a 2007 bmw 328i n52. Only difference I'd the n51 have a 3 system manifold with disa valves.
Right on!
Should’ve cleaned that nasty Radiator
We purchased a slightly used 2014 Mini Countryman S ALL 4 in early 2015. The car now has 60k miles on it. WE HAVE NOT HAD EVEN ONE ISSUE WITH THIS CAR IN ALMOST 10 YEARS. I am totally surprised as Mini has a reputation for unreliability. We have put one set of tires on the car. That’s it! My wife loves her Mini and I have to admit it’s fun to drive and even comfortable to travel in. It has an automatic transmission manufactured by AISIN, a Japanese manufacturer know for quality auto parts. I change the oil religiously and after 60k it still runs like new.
Thats great!
@@MikeMDs Thanks for your reply. Note my posts get shadow banned by UA-cam…… They can’t handle the truth….
Great video- do the arrows on the air filter need to point toward the driver or toward the engine?
I don't remember of the top of my head but i believe it points to the back of the car. The ole one should have an arrow on it somewhere to reference.
You can access the first inside pocket and take it off in seconds no need to do it from outside
Thanks for the video, I managed to remove mine using your tips, disassemble and repair the slightly warped connector for the top bulb which saved replacement
Nice work!
Can you guys help me with the fuse?.
My BMW 2012 5️⃣ series engine fan stopped working
Thank you just saved us a service fee
Awesome! Thank you a million times!
You're very welcome!
2011 mini s. Spits and sputters first thing in the morning. I shut it off and rebrand then it drives fine. Have had turbos, lines, coils, and spark plugs replaced? Is it this or electric fuel pump issue?
Recrank*
There is no way to know without seeing it and analyzing the fault codes.
Where are you located pls?
Upland CA, BMW-MINI MD's
Plan on used Mini repairs to cost more than house maintenance or health care.
You are a legend, thanks a lot.
No problem
I’m getting unsuccessful - any idea why for brake reset
Did you already replace the brake wear sensor.
What is the bulb size of it did burn out?
