  1. MINI Cooper S F56 Forum
    My car flagged it needed an engine oil top up. I pulled into the nearest garage and used havoline 0w-30 synthetic oil. It is BMW LL-04 approved. Will this be okay? Sorry, new to Mini and panicking I’ve put the wrong oil in! Thank you
  2. Engine & Powertrain
    Hi everyone! bought a JCW 2weeks ago, 2016 auto with 45k miles. In neutral I can rev it with no ticking/clicking noise, I can accelerate as normal and i don't hear it but if I accelerate hard, I can hear the clicking/ticking sound. Its driving me mad but even on a video you cant really make it...
  3. Engine & Powertrain
    Hi, i have Mini Cooper F56s 2015 with AISIN 6 speed automatic transmission. On warm engine, when i press throttle in parking and release it, sometimes RPM stick to 1400 and not goes down (honestly it goes, but need to wait for a long time, and it goes very slowly). This occurs on Sport and Mid...
  4. Engine & Powertrain
    Very specific issue here. 2014 Mini Cooper D 68k miles done and now sounds breathy and chugs on first cold start of the day. Someone has recommended it could be the swirl flaps (would possibly explain why mpg is down) are jamming. Anyone else have this problem? Video link here:
  5. Engine & Powertrain
    Hi all! I like the look of my engine WITHOUT the big plastic engine cover on and it makes a bit more noise too! Are there any repercussions to taking it off and driving it around without it? There also seems to be sound deadening on the bottom, or maybe that's heat shielding, not sure. But...
  6. Engine & Powertrain
    Is anyone able to provide a link to a spark plug socket that will definitely fit a 2015 Cooper? I have just had to return one that didn't fit, despite being advertised as thin-walled. Was thinking of trying this one instead as it's advertised as being only 1mm think, but it doesn't look any...
  7. Mini Clubman F54
    For owners with 1.5 petrol B38 engine. At how many miles or time did you change the accessory kit for the V-belt and crankshaft pulley? How many miles has now your car and you didn't change it? Mine has 71.000 km and I feel some vibrations, and I think are from the crankshaft pulley.
  8. Engine & Powertrain
    Hi all. First time posting on here. Did go through a few posts at first but didn't find anything that matches, so will create a new one. I have a 2016 F56 JCW with Stage 1 (got it with St1 already done). Bought it at 50K km without any issues (been checked by mechanics thoroughly, no issues...
  9. MINI JCW F56 Forum
    I am currently looking at remaps for my 2017 JCW manual after having it for a year. I’ve recently enquired with DMS automotive and have been quoted £599 and an increase to 268 ish BHP and 400 NM. I have had my previous car a 123d Mapped by them and I was pretty impressed however recently i’ve...
  10. Engine & Powertrain
    Bought a 16 plate Mini Cooper D in December. Only driven 30k but wasn’t used much in the last year. Within a few days, it was back at the dealer as I complained about rough idle (on start up and driving). Was told it was a damaged wire leading to fuel pump. Due to Xmas and BMW having to order...
  11. Engine & Powertrain
    Hi all. I was hoping someone could give me an idea about what could be causing my stock-mapped B48 to misfire in all cylinders occasionally. Just if anyone has any ideas from glancing at these logs? I only use 98 RON and tried from two of the major vendors here in Aus - no change. Plugs are...
  12. MINI F56 General Discussion
    Please help! I have a 2007 r56 and am getting a reduced engine power warning with no codes or reduced power to the vehicle. I had recently replaced a coil pack so i thought that could be the issue but i replaced it again with no change. To try to diagnose, I have replaced plugs as well. Any ideas?
