From an Audi website....might vary slightly on our car
Don't ask me what that means though....haha not a clue. Maybe one of the geniuses here on NAM can chime in further

I would be curious to find out what this is and where this is located in our cars. Can anyone provide any assistance on this? I wonder if it is somewhere below our air filter housing

Looking at your mod list....perhaps something related to the BOV?

That is a BMW-specific code (as opposed to generic OBDII). You would need a dealer tech to help you out. Any info you find from another manufacturer will not help you.

In the OBDII world, secondary air (aka the air pump) is an emissions system that injects clean air into the exhaust stream pre-cat to allow the unburnt exhaust gases to burn more completely. I don't believe this applies to the R56, and being that the code is in the manufacturer-specific code range (1000-1FFF) it will differ from other manufacturers code P1497.
Unfortunately it looks like you may have to take a trip to the dealer to get this resolved. You could try your luck at calling a Mini performance shop (like M7, Alta, or RMW) and see if they can look the code up on their diagnostic tool. Just a thought.
I believe if you can find a speed shop with one of the fancy touchscreen diag tools, it will tell you. I think they hold vehicle specific codes in the DB on the device.
Maybe someone with more experience than I can comment. (Just trying to save you a trip to the stealership.)

Since I have the HKS BOV, the tube going from the pressure sensor to the HKS assembly had a hole in it. Not sure what you have installed, but check your pressure sensor. Let me know how it turns out.

At the moment my car is basically stock, just exhaust and IC
We shall see.......
The techs did say they never see that code though

Turns out it's the code for an unmetered air leak. Which they tested for and didn't find. So no idea why it popped up!

Yep. thats that pesky plastic valve cover. the new versions have a cylinder head cover excess pressure valve. You should probably get a new one. I have one.... if your interested.

Thanks for posting. I diagnosed a club member's '07 MCS, and we knew where the leak was right away. Small amount of oil on his valve cover. He's gonna repair it himself.
