Hi Fellow Mini Owners,

My name is Ed and I own a 2004 Mini Cooper S. I bought it in 2006 and its been 6 glorious trouble free years up until this month. A few weeks ago my Mini started over heating. I took it to a trusted local BMW and MINI specialist. They changed a couple hoses, thermostat, and the reservior tank. The over heating stopped, but a few days later the car would not start. It cranks but won't start. Same trusted shop changed the crank sensor and fuel pump. Car drove fine for a day, but the following morning it would not start. We figured it was a faulty fuel pump. They changed the fuel pump again and again it drove for a day and took a crap the next. Now we are not sure what the issue is. Its unlikely to be the fuel pump or crank sensor. The car cranks, but will not start. Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts as to what could be causing this? Thanks in advance for your insight.

 

Any chance water got into the DME/airbox?

 

Not sure. Doubtful but I guess its worth a shot
