R56 Ignition Coil issue
Ignition Coil issue
[SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Hi Everyone! New to the forum but not to a Mini. I purchased a 2010 base Cooper automatic new in September 2010. My car currently has 91,400 miles (I know I drive a lot!). I have had a reoccurring problem with my ignition coil on cylinder number two going bad. I’ve had the ignition coil on cylinder two go bad three times now and I can tell the forth is on its way out. The symptoms start out as being sluggish, starts to shutter/jerk going up hills, and rpms fluctuates when first started. These symptoms then lead to severe misfiring or not firing at all on cylinder two. I have not been able to find any other information on this issue and I’ve spoken with the service techs and parts counter at my Mini dealer and they are stumped. I believe I replace the first bad ignition coil at about 65,000 miles March 2012, the second one a week later (second bad ignition coil was moved from cylinder four to cylinder two when diagnosing the original misfire.), and the third one at about 85,000 miles in November 2012. I think once the fourth one goes completely bad I will take it into the dealer but I’m out of warranty now. When I was under warranty I took my car in about three times for shuttering and almost stalling when I came to a stop, but they could not reproduce it. Now a few months later in May I can tell the fourth is going bad. Has anyone else had this issue or heard of it?
