    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)

    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.

    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.

    • @MikeMDs
      @MikeMDs 13 днів тому

      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.

    • @hndflights
      @hndflights 13 днів тому

      @@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.

    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.

    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.
