My car has started making a loud knocking sound when at idle it gets worse if it's in neutral. When going above 60mph in 6th gear can smell burning cant figure out where it's coming from. My driver side window has stopped working all together I've tried percussive maintenance above the speaker and I've taken the panel off 3 times and cant figure out what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

the only code that shows up is engine running lean

I'm not sure even my dad couldnt place what it smelled like

 

 

Welcome to NAM!

If you are going to ask for help, there's a couple of important bits of information necessary before any advice beyond "scan the codes" can be provided.

What model?
What year?
How Many miles?
Any codes?

The members here know a lot about MINIs and I have seen some amazing feats of remote diagnosis, but we're not mind readers. Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 cars are very different. And every now and then a BMW owner gets lost and shows up here looking for help. So help us out, and the members here will do their best to help you.

 

My bad I had just made a post in 1st gear with all that info and didnt even think about it.
