Hello, Had recently discovered the car on stage and the following ( see picture) You can see the oil on the oil pan and on the cable, only this place, otherwise everything is dry and clean. I screwed the oil pan and screwed the fixing screw for the cable too. I could not find out, however, where does the oil come out. Is this the oil pan seal or the sensor that is screwed in there. has someone already had such a thing? It is a petrol tanker, R56 Cooper, BJ 2010, 122 HP, running leash ==References==

Hello Community, my Mini Cooper (Bj 2009, about 113.000km) had a motor damage about a year ago. The defective parts of the engine were completely replaced. Since then I drove about 20,000km. Everything seemed repaired. Since I live a good hour away from my parents’ house and like to drive home at the weekend, I have to drive over the highway. Just a few weeks after the repair of my engine the car started to jerk quite at about 140km/h on the highway. It seemed as if the car was braking while I was giving gas. The mileage dropped to max. 80km/h. In addition, the yellow engine light flashed. However, it went out again after 30 seconds and also the ruching was gone. So I drove to a BMW workshop and had the car checked. The dealer there first replaced the spark plugs. Unfortunately without success. The car still jerked. On my second visit the ignition coils were replaced. Also here no change. When I had the third M When I was driving into the workshop, BMW suddenly thought that the catalyst was defective and that the problem was solved. I also had it replaced. My mini was already in two different BMW/MINI workshops last year, none of which had been able to fix my car’s fault. Yesterday, I brought my car back to the workshop to complain about the repair. Today, I was told that it was the spark plugs again. I’ve lost a good 2,000€ for the repair of spark plugs, coils, cat, etc., I’m starting to end up with my Latin and need help. Does anyone know this problem or has tips like a solution? In addition, I’d be interested to know if I as a consumer have the right to demand back the money (for no reason) paid for the previous repairs of BMW/MINI. Best regards and many thanks to possible helpers!

Hello Mini Fans. I’m new here and thank you already for every answer to my topic. Apparently it can happen that the rectangular rings on the camshaft enter and damage the storage shells. Figure 1 to 3. The sharp-edged closures of the rectangle ring could be the reason for this damage image. As a result, the flow of the oil in the direction of the camshaft and an error message to the vanos. As the outlet camshaft with the lower half is located in the cylinder head dadu As a result, the cylinder head has to be replaced completely. The rectangular rings are no longer used in the shape originally made of hardened metal and today, plastic rings are used which can no longer cause any damage of this kind. Figure 4. Since there was no recall action, I would be interested to know that someone has been aware of this problem or even had similar damage. Eicht has someone’s professional knowledge 🙂 Not without reason does BMW no longer use these metal rectangle rings, right? I would also be very pleased about a PN in this context. Greetings from Berlin.

Hello, I’ve had a Mini Cooper with 15” for 1 month now. I want to buy 16 or 17”. My question: Which rim size fits the Mini ? Which ET has the R56 ? In advance thanks to friendly greetings

Hello together, I’m Audi driver, I’m almost here to visit. Because my wife drives a countryman, which she bought in 2013, without Xenon Now you can retrofit Xenon….has someone already done it here at Countryman and has tips if necessary? Would probably zm dealer (come from Bochum), and have it retrofitted there. According to mini HP, the set costs 899,-€ without installation. thank you for your feedback

Hello together, I’m thinking of buying a Cooper and I’ve got 2 advertisements in mind for it. Can someone please look at this, who knows Minis and makes me a small assessment of the offer? Can anyone tell me, moreover, when to change the brake discs or certain other parts at a mileage from 70k? 1. Mini Cooper BJ 08 (Benzin) -Private -FZH 3 -76k km -Checkheftgepflegt -HU 04/15 (however unclear o b accident-free, according to the provider the last and penultimate owner drove accident-free, but what was before is unclear) -7500€ VB 2. Mini Cooper BJ 08 (Benzin) -Commercial provider -FZH 2 -69k km -Checkheftgepflegte -Bremsassistent incl. CBC (doesn’t know if this belongs to the standard equipment of the Cooper R56) -accident-free -8400€ (if someone wants to get a more accurate picture, I would like to send the advertisements by PN to him)

Hello Minigemeinde, after 2 years I drove my leased countryman John Cooper Works to and wanted to exchange for a economical BMW (530xdrive diesel). Basically this then goes as follows: the MINI is evaluated and bought out from the BMW/MINI used car center at the BMW Leasing Bank. The residual value at the bank new price minus leasing rates must of course be as close to the rating as possible otherwise it will be expensive. It is possible that after 2 (instead of 3) years of one However, there was already positive experience, since the running line was lower and the residual value better. However, that was a Mercedes E-Class. Back to the CM: The offer then calculates as follows: New price 46,000€ 35,000km per anno makes after 2 years 70,000km. (contract over 3 years therefore total after expiry 105,000km) Leasing rate so far 24 x 620€ (640 inclusive service) makes around 21,000€. The bank wanted 2 8,000€ so a difference of 3,000€ between rate and trigger sum. As far as can still be done to get out of the contract after 2 years. Funny was then the rating by MINI used cars: 18.00€ Exactly! The residual value is 10,000€ below the book value. For this I like to drive another year 😉 so who buys a JCW makes new after 2 years directly 60% loss. Since my after 3 years has over 105Tkm on the clock it probably becomes unfor saleable for over 15,000€. I know a few others who have got rid of a brought MINI very hard at a good price. So the supposedly very good value preservation is not so good depending on what it is. To get rid of the risk of loss of value is worth leasing or these 3 because of financing also for private. Then I can still think about what I do. would I be interested in how your experiences with the used value are?

Hay people, I bought a Mini Cooper s today Bj 2005 and wanted to ask you now some questions: – 18 inch rims are no problem with deeper springing or ? Ca 30mm deeper – which ET I need the rims are finally with the kotflügen – which tires I need at 18 inch (dimensions) – which exhaust from kat can you recommend should make a nice dull sound (max 1000€) – which rims you can recommend I thought of OZ (max 140€ with mature) Grü ße and thank you already

Hello together! I’m just about to ask if I should continue driving my Cooper S R53 or not. So my Cooper S was built in 2003 and has almost 140,000km on the hump. The brakes are starting to squeak, the climate compressor is defective, just my cooling water compensation tank was broken (renewed) and at the end the cylinder head seal (????) is a bit damaged. My friend said that the seal is still going on but I am stronger on the oil consumption The servo pump was also renewed about 3 years ago. The master said that I should look around for a new car. Now I asked myself the question: If I have to repair the mini completely again and drive it as long as I can or buy something else? How about engine damage etc.? Since I am quite a layman, as far as the technology and all the problems are concerned, I wanted to ask you for advice. Because 12 years and 140,000. km i I’d like to look around for an A4 Avant or A5. But I really hate to separate myself from my little fun mobile!! Thank you in advance! Nice greeting from Hannover.
