Hello MINI community, did not find anything suitable in the search, therefore opened up new topic… My wife’s Mini One has been having problems with cold start for a few days (since it became a bit colder). And indeed, the engine stutters a short time, sometimes it goes out completely. It was like this already in the summer, but not so bad, because he caught himself quickly and did not go out. I have read out error memory, but with deleted errors I can not do anything at all . don’t know how to interpret them. Unfortunately, there is nothing to be found on the internet. Does the mini have its own wrong codes, is there possibly a table to re-encrypt? I attach both scrennshots, vlt. has one of you a tip. Mini One First Bj 03/2016 1.2 L / 75 PS 50 Tkm run Thank you!

Because I find the map material in the Navi quite old, I would like to check if an update is available. I should install the mini update manager via Ministore for Win. It lands a file with the extension crdownload at the downloads. With Google Chrome I just can’t get this file open. On the Internet at least 10 experts give an answer: all answers do not help. What can I do? How can I get an update? (The update must be copied to USB Stick and then be installed in the car. )

After long years of abstinence, we are about to order an F56 Cooper. I read zero-commanix here about engine problems of the 3cylinders. No chain problems like the R56, no problems with durability even at high km running performance Can I conclude that these engines are completely problem-free? Or are there any constructive problems with these engines (control chain, cokes etc?) The bearing shell history from the first series is known to me, but since I’m looking forward to your answers. Greetings

Moin, I’d like to change the chrome decorative rings at the front and back of my countryman, as I just don’t like them in chrome. You can buy them in Piano Black and build them on. However, part of the radiator grille is in chrome, the door handles are also chrome and the decorative strips are also chrome. Do you think it would look bad if I just changed the headlight decorative rings? Or is that too much “Misch mach”? eht. Would you like to give your opinion on what it would look like with black decorative rings?

Moin people. I have a little problem. My F56 SD from 2015 occasionally makes funny noises from the engine compartment. First to the car: 2015 Mini F56 SD with 170hp, 2.0L diesel and 225,000km. It does not light up any warning message, there are no errors, the car has full power and drives as always. The error cannot be reproduced, comes at least every third engine run – and goes on even a few seconds – although the engine is switched off. It doesn’t matter. whether climate on/off and it doesn’t matter if the engine is warm/cold. I once made a video of the noise. Does any of you think of something? For me, this could be a actuator? AGR? throttle flap? But then without a message? I am Ratlos.https://youtu.be/_eus4HTKvEQ?si=Cjl8fVgt_zs473-c Thank you.

Hello, I am currently interested in a used Mini One or Cooper F56. However, I have read that the first from the end of 2013 to April 2025 had problems with the crankshaft axial bearing. Now I have found a One, which was built however exactly during this period. Can anyone exactly say which engine is affected? According to research there are: – B38A12 with 1.2 liter displacement and 75 hp – B38A12U0 with 1.2 liter displacement and 102 hp – B38A15A with 1.5 liter displacement and 136 hp De r Car is just around the corner with me. According to the dealer, the car is not affected, yet I am unsure. Does anyone know something exact? I would be very pleased about a feedback. Ciao stevejudge

Title: Help with error codes 130F20 and 120408 for Mini Cooper Hello, I have read out the following error codes with the key number 0005/BXK00033X at my Mini Cooper F56, built on 22.10.2014: 130F20: Outlet camshaft and crankshaft show an implausible angular offset outside of tolerance. 120408: Charging pressure control has been switched off as a result of another problem. Has anyone experienced these errors? What could be the causes, and which steps should be taken? am I doing something to fix it? Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have the following problem. The MINI APP no longer works, so the message “No online connection” always comes. All data has been frozen since 23.10.. I had first thought that there is a server problem at MINI/BMW and wrote to the service team. I always use the app as route planning and then send the destinations to the Countryman. I used the function daily because it is my company car if someone asks why the app is so important to me. And I extended the service 8 weeks ago for a year. I was told that I should reset the operating system from Countryman, after that everything would work again. I understand that my MINI no longer has any contact with the server. I was told to do this: 1. Drive a car for at least 10 minutes 2. Park the car but don’t turn off the engine 3. Hold down the volume control for about 30 seconds 4. If the screen black, release the button, everything will run within 1 minutes r up and thus the problem should be fixed. I tried it. I tried it after 15 minutes drive or even after a 4 hours highway ride. Unfortunately my operating system does not drive down. The screen always stays on. I had then turned again to the service team. No more feedback, still rests the lake. Can someone help me? To the un/friendly I have no desire, only if everything does not help anymore. Thanks in advance!!! VG Patrick

Hello, my name is Sabine and I’ve had my dream car for 3 months – Mini Cooper with 190 hp, 105,000 km in white with some useful extras. Now I have a massive problem: “Oil pressure too low” at high speed (>140 kmh), the local screwdriver thinks that this would be the oil pump and would like to replace it for EUR 1,000. In addition from the beginning high oil consumption. No white exhaust smoke and no water in the oil. nd feels oily. Does it sound like cylinder head gasket, am I right? What does the exchange cost (in a free workshop) and are there any problems / special tools? Your opinion would be very helpful, thank you! Gruss Sabine

Hello, I’ve been at Motor Talk for a long time but for the first time at Mini. Good day. We think to buy a new Countryman and have therefore made today a test drive with a Cooper with manual transmission. Are already older and the higher sitting position suits us very much. In short, my expectations have been exceeded. Very good handling with front drive. There were 17″ rims with 225 tires mounted, very good road position, nevertheless quite comfortable, had a tight driving But I am used to BMW driver and tight suspension. The automatic air conditioning system is efficient, the parking beepers with display on the display were very loud, but can be quieter. The sports seats are good and should definitely be clean according to the seller. The 3-cylinder engine is surprisingly quiet and gets louder only from 4000 rpm, so I was very positively surprised. The 136 hp are enough for us, mainly short distance and only sometimes longer. But if it is then around the outside arbe goes, it gets tight, for us actually only the standing color moonwalk grey with black roof remains. Red only looks good with the smaller minis, the countryman does not stand in our opinion. So in my opinion too few colors to choose from. Thanks for reading. ciao olderich
