Hey, you're welcome! With your mileage, it could well be the control unit. I had my Mini Countryman at an authorized BMW/Mini workshop near me and can only recommend that you also go to a specialist dealer who is very familiar with Minis. They have the right equipment and the experience to diagnose such problems quickly and accurately. If you live near Munich, I can recommend the BMW/Mini branch in Drygalskiallee. They helped me a lot and the service was excellent. They also have a good car rental service if your car has to stay longer. I hope this helps you and that your Paceman will soon be running smoothly again! Keep us posted on what you find out at the workshop. Good luck and have a safe journey! 🚗💨

Hello and thanks again for the tips! I will definitely go to an authorized workshop, that sounds reasonable. I don't live in Munich, but I'll look around for a good BMW/Mini workshop in the area. I'll keep the tip about Drygalskiallee in mind if I'm ever in the area. I'll let you know as soon as I have the results. Hopefully it's just the control unit and nothing worse. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Thanks for the help and have a safe journey! 🚗💨

My mini 2012 engine N18 and I changed the 4 coils spark plugs and 2 injectors of cylinders 2 and 3 where I always mark error misfire codes 002EEA, 002F01, 002F00, 002EE7, 002EE1, 002EEB and 002EE8 and loses power, but the strange thing is that I turn it off and on and everything is erased sometimes spend days well and returns the same problem and also changed high fuel pump valves vvs I do not give the fault, any idea?

Based on the error codes and symptoms you've described, it seems like you might be dealing with a faulty engine control unit (ECU) or a wiring issue. I would recommend checking the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. If everything looks fine, you might want to consider having the ECU checked by a professional. Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any further questions.
Hi, I had a similar problem with my Mini Countryman (2018 model year). I have some experience with cars, but in this case I had to go to the garage. In my case, the control unit (engine control unit) was defective. My symptoms were very similar: black smoke, check engine light on, loss of power and vibrations at idle. At first I also thought it was the ignition coils, but the workshop quickly diagnosed the defective control unit. The repair cost me around 1000 euros. After that, everything ran smoothly again. I would recommend that you have your car thoroughly checked at the garage before replacing parts on suspicion. What exact year and engine does your Paceman have? Then I might be able to give you more details and tips on how best to proceed. Thank you and good luck!
