hi,

i posted a few days back about the problem i had w/ my CVT MINI. after 8,600 miles, the gear display suddenly read "EP", which i was told satnds for "Emergency Programing". i had the car towed to MINI of Sterling. the message i got from the tech. was that they had to place "An updated diode in the wire harness". the car is running fine once again. i was unable to speak to him in detail about it, so this is all i have to offer. thanks for all those who sent advise on this problem.

SAME EXACT PROBLEM HERE. When they told me they had to replace a diode I thought they were nuts cause I had never heard of that before on any of the boards. Now I feel a little better. Mine is still in the shop awaiting the diode though.
