Mini check engine light, loss of power and the engine starts poorly

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Mini Cooper S. In my case it was a Mini Countryman, and I have some experience with cars. My car had similar symptoms to yours. It turned out that the plug/cable connection was faulty. I had it repaired at the garage and it cost me 155.0 euros. After the repair, my Mini ran perfectly again. It would be good if you could provide more information about your vehicle (e.g. mileage, last service). This will help to better narrow down the problem and possibly provide further tips. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for your reply! My Mini now has 189765 km on the clock and the last service was about 2 months ago. I'll have your tip about the plugs and cables checked out. Does anyone else have similar experiences or ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! With 189765 km on the speedometer, you've obviously already covered a lot of mileage. In addition to the plugs and cable connections, it could also be due to a defective injection valve, as you originally suspected. I would definitely consider this, especially if the symptoms have worsened. In my case, the garage also checked and cleaned the injectors during the diagnosis. It is also always a good idea to check the mass air flow sensor, as this can also lead to similar symptoms if it is dirty or defective. The DPF (diesel particulate filter) could also be leaking with such high mileage and cause similar problems. But before you have everything replaced, maybe start with the simpler things like the plugs and cables. Troubleshooting a Mini can sometimes be tricky. Good luck and hope your Mini will soon be running smoothly again. Keep us posted on what you find out! Best regards!

Thanks for the additional tips! I will definitely have the injection valves and the mass air flow sensor checked. I'll also keep an eye on the diesel particulate filter. I'll start with the plugs and cables first, as you suggested. Let's see if that solves the problem. I'll keep you posted on what comes out of it and whether my Mini runs smoothly again! Best regards!

I have a Mini Cooper Diesel 2007 with 115235 km, I have been almost a month that the car when I turn it on stops and I can not turn it back on, if I do not pump diesel manually does not turn on. When it does the engine failure light comes on, if I turn it off and turn it on again the light goes off and it works correctly. In the workshop that I take it they do not find the fault because the diagnostic machine does not mark any error. This is happening to me after I took it to the workshop because the particle filter was dirty, instead of changing it they cleaned it with a product. I have also noticed that when the car starts and does not stop the revolutions I have them between 900 or 1000 and makes an attempt to lower and stall the car, another thing I've noticed is to take the car revved between 3000 and 3500 gives small jerks. I'm a little desperate thank you very much for everything.

Hello, That is very strange. Have you ever driven to another workshop to have the vehicle read out? Because as soon as the engine control light comes on, an error must also be stored.

I have made an appointment for another workshop, because if after this time they have not seen the problem I have to change eyes, as the current ones are flawed. When they tell me I will inform
