Hey,
I've got a stock 03 Cooper with 59000 miles on it. I was driving up to Santa Cruz today, which is probably one of the longer drives I had with my coop, in super hot weather. 100+.. and on my way home I noticed it was jerking soo much. I'd stop and go, but right when I go, I get a huge jerky feeling. I know mini coopers already did this, but it's a much bigger feeling than before. I also noticed at times, when letting go of the brake and idling, it wouldn't even move at all.. (like the brake was still held down) That when I knew for sure, this time it would jerk. Anyone know what the problem is?

I JUST was at the shop and got my drivers door lock fixed.. and now this..

John

 

stop talking dirty to your car while stopped at the light.



sound like the ECU. might need to be reflashed.

 

is it a 5-speed cooper or a CVT?

 

whoops, forgot to mention it's a CVT.
