Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S(R56), and Cabrio (R57).
Ok, I have a 2008 Clubman non S with 67k miles on it. Yesterday, I replaced the front parking light bulbs, filled the gas tank and topped off the oil with Castrol 5w-30 Extended Performance Edge. Today, my Mini has a stumble at idle. The only mod I made was to install a K&N air filter.
Fuel could be it. Also make sure you didn't knock lose a sensor or the air filter isn't fit correctly.
I changed the air filter about two weeks ago and was very careful. Since then, I have driven to Lake Tahoe and back without a problem. I am thinking that when I filled up in Tahoe, I got some sketchy gas and the top off stirred up some dirt from the tank and the fuel filter needs to be changed.
