Just bought 2007 mini coupe cooper s, 121k, had it 2 days, engine light on codes are:2FF6, 2FDC,2AC2, auto lot bought from, had wrong manual in it, I know NOTHING about a mini.

Can some one PLEASE help?

Plus tail light wiring burned out, how do you fix.

Plus alot of white smoke coming out of tail pipes and I smell burnt smell.

 

You mentioned that you have had the vehicle for just two days, and it was purchased from an auto lot. Did the vehicle come with a warranty of any kind? Have you contacted the seller with this information?

If not, I'd advise that you explore Lemon Law options for your location.

 

Lemon law does not apply to used vehicles, it was a cash only lot no warranty, so can anyone advise if I can fix it, or sell it?

 

Anyone know of a good trusting affordable mechanic, and where I can get used parts maybe in woodlands, conroe, spring, houston texas area?

 

You have made a mistake.

 

I realize maybe I have, but maybe not, depends on if these codes that I described are bad, do you know?

Anyone who'd seen would go wow, it's in mint shape, one of a kind.

 

This is just a quick Google.

2FF6 VSS (Speed Sensor) Signal Max

2FDC Immobolizer Signal

2AC2 Front o2

The kind of scanner you are using will make a difference.

Few things you probably already know. Many Many Many used car lots will clear codes and when you drive them away *bing* they appear again. Cash lot for a "unique" car that you "know nothing about" is trouble. You will either fix it and it will be a journey and spend some $ or drop it and try to make it someone else problem. How much did you pay? Pics? Is this your only car or can this be a project to fix it? How does it run?

 

First, try to clear the codes and see if they come back. Since you just got it, some of the codes could be old stored codes.

0x2FDC - P1661 Time out EWS Telegram
0x2FF6 - P0503 Vehicle Speed Sensor 'A' Intermittent / Erratic
0x2AC2 - P2096 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean (Bank 1)

You'll want to test the speed sensor to see if has proper resistance. If it doesn't, you'll want to replace it. For P2096 check this thread HERE as some state the cause was because of an intake leak. Check the supercharger gasket. Also, some people pointed to the cause due to an exhaust leak.

White smoke is a good indication of coolant, so I'd check to make sure you don't have a leak somewhere.

For used parts in your area use www.car-part.com. This website will be very valuable as it does a nation wide search of parts available.

For a MINI Indy shop, try this website HERE.

 

It runs excellent.
My only car, now NO car.
I'm an honest person would never NOT disclose history.

 

Codes aside, what does the white smoke out of the tailpipes smell like? Does it smell "sweet"? If so, could be coolant burning. If it's cold where you are, or if the car sat for a long time, could just be condensation burning out of the exhaust system. Monitor your coolant level very closely. Start the car when cold, remove the cap on the coolant reservoir, and look for air bubbles appearing in the coolant at idle. Best help I can offer from here.....
