Mini Roadster Camshaft Sensor Issue

I had a similar issue with my Mini. Check Engine light came on, and the car was struggling to start. It turned out to be a faulty camshaft position sensor. The error code pointed to it, but it could also be related to the crankshaft sensor. Did you check the wiring and connections to the sensor? Sometimes it's just a loose plug.

Interesting. When you say similar, did you experience the reduced engine power as well? And when you mention checking the wiring, what exactly should I be looking for? I'm not super experienced with this.

Yes, I experienced the reduced power too. It felt like the engine was misfiring. As for the wiring, look for any obvious signs of damage – frayed wires, corroded connectors, that sort of thing. But honestly, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop. A faulty camshaft position sensor can cause serious engine problems if left unaddressed.

Just wanted to close the loop on this. You were right, I took the Mini to the workshop, and it was indeed the camshaft position sensor. They replaced it for 95€, and now it runs like new. Thanks for the help!
