Have replaced both MAP &TMAP sensors after code P0107 came up. On a long trip of 750 miles each way same code has returned. Have driven only about 2000 miles since replacing the sensors. Would the O2 sensors failing now be the reason the service engine light occures at different times. The DSC light also comes on when the service engine light comes on. After clearing the codes car runs then codes appear again. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
This is very good to hear. I have an intermittent SES light now (@ only 65,000 km) on my 2006 MCS; the local independent MINI garage says it's the pre-cat O2 sensor throwing the codes.
Is there a number to call / someone to talk to at MINI Canada, or will the local dealer be in the loop enough to honor this warranty extension?
I can confirm that Mini Canada is also offering the extended coverage on the O2 sensor. My 2005 MCS had an intermittent failure due to the sensor. I brought it in for servicing and showed the service rep a copy of the USA letter provided here. I got the first reaction of "Well sir - that does not apply here." I insisted that they follow up with Mini Canada. The result? "Well sir, it turns out the O2 sensor coverage is extended in Canada as well. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. The work is all covered including the diagnostic test."
Thankyou OP! This could explain my lowered fuel economy. I have DDM CAI - rest is stock. Tires have 35psi. I used to avg 28 mpg and at most 30mpg. Lately, however, I've been averaging 24mpg...
No SES/CEL yet though.

have you heard anything about this. My ses light just started coming on (I have 131k on her) and my DSC light comes on with it. I'd like to hear what you found out. Thanks.
i wish i had seen this thread sooner, i just brought my '04 mini to my mechanic when the SES light came on and of course it's the O2 sensor - unfortunately coop has 101K miles so i'm just outside the warranty
My car is getting really terrible gas mileage...around 17-18 in city.My rx-8 does even better.I've been thinking it could be the o2 sensor but havent seen any light come on and no codes either...guess ill make a trip to the dealerand hope they will replace it...mine is an '04 with only 27,000miles...

I would not expect they will replace the o2 sensor unless the CEL is on.
I have an 04 that threw a code for the o2, but because I live about 100 miles from the dealer I cleared it so I would know if something else came up. When I got to the dealer they said they would need to charge a diagnostic fee just to pull the sensor if there is not code. I was a little mad after driving in just for this fix but they were unmoved. They were not going to touch the car until I agreed to pay the fee, even if the o2 sensor was bad.
About a week later the CEL came on again, for the o2 sensor. I left it on until the next time I would be at the dealer.
When I went in with the code still showing they changed the o2 sensor no problem. (They did want to charge me $200 to update the programming of the computer, which I declined.)
i am sorry but i am a proud owner of a used mini and i am confused on the actual recall. my sos light popped on the other day went off and now on again. it has 80K on it and i am wondering if its either o2 sensor can i take it in to mini for a recall for one or both sensors on their dollar? i have no warranty on the car as i bought it used and can fight with the dealer but would rather take to mini to do it if its a recall, but not sure if it is a recall or not by my reading and is it 10/100,000 automatically? thanks for anyones help. now that i own one where do i go to get my own recall letters sent to me for my car?
oh and does the warrantee i keep reading apply to any mini any owner of one 10/100,000? in this case diagnostics & the sensor removed and replaced free do to recall even though i dont have the letter since i bought mine from and independant car lot? all help is appreciated

The 10/100k warranty on the sensors applies to some 04-06 models automatically,you don't need to show them the letter.I think you should bring the car to Autozone or anywhere that offers free diagnostics just to be sure that one of the sensors(or both) is causing the light.Otherwise,your local MINI dealership could charge for half an hour of labor(I paid $78).
Thanks for this post! You saved me a bunch of money. My SES light has been on and off for a few weeks now, same P0130 code each time. Called the dealership this morning and they checked my VIN, and I am good to go for replacement for free. Instructed my husband to make sure the SES light is on when he pulls in so we don't get charged a $110 diagnostic fee.
