2011 JCW engine light came on

Hey guys,

Just joined your little group here.

Was driving today my JCW and my engine light came on. No power loss. Nothing noticeable. But decided to have it checked out. Anyone have a similar problem before?

Read it could be air mass sensor or oxygen sensor.

Thanks
Mike

Without knowing the exact fault code, it's really a guess. Those two components are definitely among the "usual suspects", but there can be many more.
You need to get an OBDII reader, and get the fault code.

First of all welcome.
Has anyone ever had a check engine light, seriously? Yes!!

I use the icarly app for iPhone and their wifi
dongle - it reads BMW/MINI codes. Amazon.

Get the codes and report back to us and maybe we can help.

I had the light come on. Code: 2B64
2011 JCW.
No loss of power.
New valve cover gasket did the trick.
