I have my MC for just over 2 weeks now. The last week or so I have noticed that it is running a little on the hot side. The temperature guage needle goes to the left of middle within 2-3 minutes. It comes to rest somewhere between the middle line and the next line and will stay there no matter how high or low the engine speed.

The coolant level in the resevoir is a little low. It is not empty and the level does not seem to change, but it is not to the minimum fill line. I have checked and to the best of my knowledge there is no leak.

Any ideas? Anyone else had this issue with their MC or MCS??

Get it checked ASAP by Mini service. Heat+engine=trouble.

 

It's actually there as we speak...dropped it off this morning. But, while I am impatiently waiting the diagnosis and praying that it is something minor, I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone has had this experience...

 

Glad to hear it is in the shop. I don't recall any other posts re. this
but there is a post somewhere of a Mini FIRE!
