  • Extremely loud driving noise/roll-off noise Mini One F56

    Hello guys! Unfortunately I have extreme problems with my new Mini One built in November 2018, 8.000km down. With a very slow ride (from about 30-40 kmh) it starts to get very loud in the interior. It sounds like roll-off noises, but in my opinion it’s way too loud. I haven’t had a louder vehicle in my life. Depending on the road surface, the volume or intensity of the noise changes. The tires are the ones that came from the factory (Michel) in Energy Saver 195/65/r16, summer tires) and still look very good. I was two times at the dealer, who told with each time that it was probably normal and Mini is always loud. Sawtooth is not available. However, it is so loud that the ears become deaf to you. I once measured by mobile phone app and there I measured at about 60 kmh inside, 70 decibels in the interior. That can’t be normal after all? Funny is that when you turn the windows down, the noise “on I have to say that the sound has been there from the beginning. I had bought it with just under 3,000km… I have already checked tire pressure. No matter if 0.2 bar more or less does not change anything. Temperature-dependent is probably not, since the noises remain the same at cold or warm outside temperatures. Do you have any idea what this could be? Or is it normal? I am grateful for every person who is interested in it. Note…

  • Mini Countryman Plug-in Hybrid – Experiences?

    I’m thinking of replacing my BMW X3 next year for the new Mini Countryman plug-in hybrid. It would fit perfectly to my driving profile (max 30km/day, every few weeks a longer distance) and could be charged daily in the garage. The test drive was very convincing. Driving was really fun, also haptics and (BMW) technology were top. Are there already owners in the forum who can report on their experiences? Consumption? Charging time at the household plug-in se? Negative? I would appreciate feedback. Greetings Alex

  • Assistance systems failed

    Hello together, since the beginning of the week many of my assistance systems have failed: Front camera Rising protection Adaptive headlights Spur release warning cruise control with distance control one day later is also the USB stick (MP3 music files) no longer in the system. My mini is now 13 months old, at the BMW dealer could not tell me if this is a warranty case, first you have to make a fault diagnosis. Haate from you already someone a similar case? What was broken? e costs taken over, how expensive was the repair otherwise? How is the connection between USB stick and assistance systems? By the way, the parking beeps at the front and back as well as the rear camera still work. Thank you for your messages

  • Mini One Configuration

    Hi, everybody, I’m here for my son, who’s driving the driver’s license to configure a Mini One. So far I’ve chosen the following equipment: Pepper White Fabric Firework Carbon Black/Carbon Black 17″ LM wheels Cosmos Spoke black Multifunction for steering wheel Sports leather steering wheel Model lettering Fall Panorama glass roof Seat heating for driver and front passenger Park Distance Control (PDC) rear Speed control with brake function hands-free Bluetooth White How do Bluetooth and mobile phone preparation differ? If you want to use Spotify with ‘n iPhone 6S, you certainly need the mobile phone preparation, right? Is a USB connection installed as standard to listen to music from the stick? I can only choose LED as additional equipment, what does it have as a series, safe only halogen and no xenon, right? What does the MINI Excitement package contain? Thank you

  • Cold start problem; jerking (in case of driving) + speed jumps (as of 1100->1300)

Right? I haven’t read the error memory yet. However, I haven’t found anything for the speed jump.

  • since 2 months cold start not possible anymore!

    Good morning Mini friends. You’re my last hope… I can’t start my mini cold for two months now. Try the first five to ten starts he spins a little bit slowly but from the 10 times he spins faster he sounds like he’s just about to start! Can’t start, but I’ve already emptied the whole battery. Once started I can turn it off and leave it right away without a problem. Battery ok, candles spark okay. r inject in air intake tube no effect! The two gasoline pumps hum under the rear back seat, so I assume that they work. From 24 degrees outside temperature it starts the first kick. As added below, I already had the thermostat, thermostat sensor and the gasoline high pressure injection pump replaced. Please help me!

  • Cooper doesn’t want to start anymore

    Hello, with my problem had recently fetched a new battery because the old Platt was. So the little one also ran well now he has stood now about 3 weeks and did not jump any more only cracked but you have seen the still juice on it (armatures have lit) So now I have the battery charged (according to multimeter is this full) have it built again, you hear that what does, but no life sign when you turn the key around (no lamps at nothing?) When I briefly measure the battery is to be recognized that the voltage collapses as long as it is installed in the vehicle. I build this battery again from full 12volt. I ask for help, am right now really councilless greetings

  • Mini R56, year 2007; change ZKD, valve position

    Hello together, I have the following problem and I hope one or the other can help me… After my car seemed to have a problem with the cooling water circuit (engine ran hot and engine control light went on) first the thermostat was renewed (incl. air drained etc.) After that the problem still did not seem to be solved, because the cooling water emptied itself with running warm engine in the balance tank quite quickly and only after the engine cooled down, s As a result, it was diagnosed that the ZKD had to be replaced. However, since this is quite expensive in a workshop (>€1000), it seemed to me rather uneconomical, so that I have now unscrewed the cylinder head myself (according to various instructions/instructions I had found). Now, however, the following problem arises: With one cylinder, the outlet valves are open and with all others they are closed. How is this possible or. How can I change this position? In my opinion, and if I have done the execution correctly so far, all valves must be closed. Can someone give me a tip for this? I’m also trying to set up a suitable image in which it becomes recognizable what I mean. Thank you very much for the feedback!!!

  • Temporary high-frequency whistling while driving

    Hello, we have a Mini Cooper from the year 2013 with 184 hp. In cold condition it happens again and again that when driving high frequency whistles. The whistle is not continuous. It comes and goes. The vehicle has a converter gearbox, if you take the gear out, the whistle is gone. What could that be? Thank you and many greetings, Micha

  • Cooper S Pre and Disadvantages Compressor/Turbo

    Hello together. Since I want to sell my 1er BMW and switch to Mini, I want to have this time a car on which I can rely 100% and what is fun. Of course it can always be something. Nevertheless I have now read so much about chains problems that I already do not know any more if it is a good decision. To my questions! Attention this text has written a woman My interest falls on the from 2007 with 174 HP less consumption and the whole car au a little bit bigger. Unfortunately I hear about it only bad that he has to fight with the chain hard. Nevertheless I found many used cars that have changed the chain already. Is then quiet then??? Then the from 2005 compressor high fuel consumption and there again chains problems. Actually not so suitable for me because I only drive city traffic. But it is important to me that he still holds his 50,000 60,000 km. Why would you tend? Have no desire to return to the S Chnauze to fall thanks in advance
