AWESOME DIY MINI DAY!

Surprise wife with "like new" R56 leather seats installed in her R52 - CHECK (swapped wire harness connectors = no airbag codes)

First time using NCS Expert to code a car = R52 roof and windows open/close with remote and very happy wife (who said her husband is now Mini Mechanic Rock Star status)

Used OBD to troubleshoot likely bad bypass valve (watching intake pressures). Car runs fine when she drives it.... I put into limp mode when really hit it hard... stop restart car runs fine again with code P1688. Once new bypass valve comes in pretty sure will have that one tackled as well.

 

Could you post the links to the files you have? When I try to code my r52 with NCS expert, the vehicle doesn't show. I only see R50, and it gives a faulty chassis error. Thanks!

 

That is correct, there is no R53. It uses the R50 placeholder, same difference using inpa. Youtube is your friend,
