@Kurtdaniel
do you have lowering springs on your mini. |
towing
i don't think i do being that it's a base model. i also checked in the owner's manual and did not see anything about lowering springs.
|
Is there any special instruction for changing the oil in my MINI like other imports

i would actually like to know how to change out the transmission fluid on the MINI. can i do a drain and fill or a flush?
|
Which transmission do you have?
|
Hey, the link for changing a Mini's oil doesn't work!
I hope that's temporary. Elfina |
I don't think i do believe that it's a platform design. i also examined in the user guide and did not see anything about decreasing rises.

XCM828,
You don't happen to have any information on the location of the Blower motor resistor on a 2002 Mini cooper s (MADE PRE 02/2002 ) Please don't say its in the passengers side footwell behind the glovebox. It's not located there on a pre 2/2002 production car. I haven't been able to locate where it is at. I have totally dissembled the dash and heater housing and its not there. |
2012 Mini S won' stay running
Hello,
I have acquired a '12 mini "S" that starts, runs a minute, or 3, then quits. Any suggestions? This car was in a flood, but everything else is working fine. |

Do you have a link for setting personal preferences in the computer on a 2008 Cooper S? The videos I have found for 2007-2013 don't work on mine.

My daughter has a 2011 Mini Cooper and it has three error codes: P0012 P00BC and a second P0012. The Vanos (sp) sensor was replaced and she says it runs better but after disconnecting the battery for an hour the codes are still there as is the Check Engine Light. Any suggestions?

Make sure it's BMW/MINI specific like ours here - 2011 Mini Cooper Base Hatchback - Tools - Page 8 Or you'll need to go to a MINI indy shop and have them clear it for you if you don't want to buy a tool or have someone that has one. |
We had the codes cleared by a professional shop and the two codes P0012 and the second P0012 came back on within a mile. All my research says that replacing the Vanos Sensor should have cured the issue but I assume there could be something else?

P0012 0x287D 'A' Camshaft Position Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1) P0012 0x287E 'A' Camshaft Position Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1) P0012 0x2D5A VANOS intake: Closed-loop control fault, camshaft sticks A good BMW/MINI scan tool will tell you which particular P0012 codes are being thrown. Is her 2011 MINI just a Cooper or Cooper S? The MINI R56 N12, N16 and N18 engines utilize two VANOS (variable camshaft timing) solenoids -- one for the intake camshaft (green arrow) and one for the exhaust camshaft (red arrow), mounted to the front of the cylinder head. Which sensor did you replace? Or did you replace both? Now, what symptoms does she have? Is it running rough at all or is all that she has a check engine light? http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...mall/pic02.jpg |
She has a 2011 Mini Cooper, I don't think it is an S but can check to make sure. I replaced the sensor on the back of the head only "green arrow" She says it runs great and gets good gas mileage but the check engine light is still on.

If replacing the VANOS did not fix the issue then it could be a timing issue and your timing is off. I'd bring it in to a local Indy shop and see what they have to say. You can use this site to help find one local to you Mini Cooper Repair Shops - Find a Mini Cooper Mechanic | MiniRepairShops.com.

04 Mini Cooper S, manual 6 speed..I recently ran battery too low to start, so I took the battery out and charged battery overnight..next morning..I tried to start..no crank..only a progressive humming noise..starts at a low frequency then runs up to steady sound..stops when key off..towed to mechanic..they unloaded it..started right up..next day, drove 20 miles ,played golf, went to start..same sound..towed again to same mechanic..same thing..started right up..they changed starter motor..ok, for 10 test starts..failed on 11 th..they realized it was not the starter..put old starter in..now trying to reproduce fault..no fault codes..could it be that the ECM just needs some miles on it to reset itself after removing battery..mechanics are pulling their hair out figuirng this one out
