Yellow Engine Light

Hi everybody,looks that something goes wrong with my MINI :(
Yellow engine light came on before 2 weeks(one time car went to safe mode).
a local service shop told me that is a high pressure fuel pump issue and that i was need a new one.
i decided not to visit my dealer afraid of the cost and the labour but it turned out that i made mistake because i ended up replacing the fuel with a used one.
Finally i am very worry not only that i buy a used fuel pump but that the engine light when the the key is on and pressing the button once is present,after i switch on the engine light turns off.
is this normal?
Thank you and
Sorry for my bad english.

the man who sold me the fuel pump told me tha Obd show p0088 fault code

Yes the CEL will come on with the 1st switch. It is doing a self test. Then when the car is started it should go off. So yes that is normal.

Every morning after the replacement of the high pressure fuel pump..i have cold start problems....rough start ...
i dont know if it can be the timing chain tensioner problem but searching the forums and youtube my mind thoughts that is a HPFP failure ..
