Hey everyone! Im a first time Mini owner and i need some help. Not sure if this is the right thread so let me know if i need to go to a different one. Just bought a 2011 countryman s all4. has 60k miles, and ive put about 500 of those on. My wife took it on a trip and when she got to the destination the engine light came on and the engine started to misfire. She got it home and i hooked up the scanner found misfires on #2 primarily. Changed the spark plugs, put good fuel in and everything cleared up. this morning she said it was acting up again. I do recall something to do with the fuel pressure on the scanner but it only had 1 ping on the codes. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Welcome to the forum!

Would recommend you post this in the R60 section. More likely to get a useful response there!

 

What was the code for the fuel issue? Could be a High Pressure Fuel Pump, which would be covered by the extended program they put in place.

 

not sure now, gonna check when i get home, good to know there is an extended program. im going to move this to the R60 thread. Thank you!

 

If it’s the same cylinder misfiring I would swap coil packs with another cylinder to see if the problem moves.
Welcome to the neighborhood.

 

Welcome.

+1 on swapping the Coil Pack to see if the problem moves.

Follow up with the R60 folks.

Best of luck and ...

Motor On!

 

I am going to merge this with you post in the 1st Gear area as it is already getting some responses.

And welcome to NAM.

 

I appreciate it, thank you

 

At 60k it is due for both plugs and Coils

 

UPDATE! so i put the scanner on it last night and I had 2 engine codes. both were a low fuel pressure and 1 had a cold start addition to it. Also the wife told me ( and i also duplicated it in the drive way) when the engine starts acting up like its misfiring if you shut it of and turn it back on it goes away. Ill also add that it makes an rattling like noise from the driver side of the engine while its acting up. at first i thought maybe the A/C compressor was taking a crap but it doesn't change when i turn the A/C off.

 

Bad HPFP should be under 120k mile warranty. call a Mini dealer

 

Also call a MINI Mechanic in an effort to get an expert on your side.
In the bay we have two really good MINI shops. I have a trusty dealer that i triple check through my MINI mechanic.
