Worst car ever made mate I agree rust buckets I’m glad I got rid of the thing never again

Good information. I had the coil issue myself.

Glad I just now saw this! 😂 just got done going through all of those problems and this comment would’ve been a life saver! Better late then never I guess lmao

Thanks. That is good info. So far, the cooper s supercharged has been a great car with the well expected age and typical failures of an old German car. I won't compare it to a Yugo. Not yet anyway. The subframe was surprisingly easy to get off and on for PM service, I thought it would be harder than it was.

Hello? Do u already solved the problem i got the same issues on my mini cooper

I've got the same issue, it's also very slow off the line and shakes ONLY when I put it in R or D

I’m having the same issue did you fix the problem?

Little late. But did u try the spark plugs?

I believe it was your purge valve that was the culprit. Hope all is well

Absolutely

thanks

@@BMWDoctor is Cos they is all girls that ain’t maintaining their motors bro 😉

Hi I have the same problem the exhaust manifold gose cherry red not long after starting and it hunts really bad did you fix the issue and what was it thanks Bryan

It was the supercharger intake rubber boot that failed. Once leaks it causes the symptom

Also have 120psi in cylinder 2 instead of 150 in others..

Ditch the MSD and go stock ! Msd packs are commonly known to cause more issues than their worth on these engines

Green gasket supercharger intake

Thanks mate just stating before I get any mini subs asking why I don’t have mini on there lol

I’m waiting for this people to come trust me mate lol I already had a guy who fried his MINI DME by jump starting it’s coming slowly but surely

Oh that's bad craic bud. Infried a glowplug controller on my e60 525d auto trying to start it after having the fuel rail and injectors off. I was raging because if replaced all 6 plugs and controller while I'd the mani off. Seems modern electrics are extremely sensitive to jump starting. Mind u I was using a jumper pack and cranking it like two men and a wee lad blasting easy start down the inlet!!!! I might fix it. Cant be bothered tho lol

Andy Caldwell this is the normal all e60s don’t like jump packs to many modules it wakes up and zaps the power that’s why always use a charger

I learned the hard way mate. Now iv been tempted to take the controller off and resolder the blown wires. As seen on KZfaq. But wonder if it's worth the hassle. Maybe better off just buying a new one. 05 165000 miles on the clock iv had all the gremlins. Done the blanked the flaps. Converted the cracked manifold replaced injectors. Had an injector collar break spat number 5 out. Intellegent battery sensor early type ballsed up. had to remove the the seals under the front scuttles. Replaced all front arms suspension brushed struts springs and top mounts and bearings. I feel like iv served my time at Bavaria on this thing. But u know what. What a great car. Still drives brilliant. And if saved a small fortune using my own labour and experimenting with german autodoc company for parts. I'd take an e60 any day over a crappy vauxhall mate👍👍🤙

Andy Caldwell I’m exact same mate and mate don’t believe everything you see on KZfaq trust me parts are cut out and you will see one clip in the video and then be like so now where does this one go ??? He never showed it I don’t rely on KZfaq for jack shit mate im here doing my thing and working with company’s outside of KZfaq aswell

I get that I think that’s just over your side you see as over here problems like that are slim and you would think that would be the opposite as we get a lot of rain here so the fan would pack up but that’s not the case the same with the crankshaft seal aswell you guys suffer with that and I believe that’s cause of the heat where we don’t it’s not common here as I always say I believe it’s the quality of parts used in factory there

Most likely an intake vacuum leak, which could be several things. Check the plastic intake duct to the supercharger and also the vacuum line(s) attached to it. I had a P1498 code that turned out to be a torn power brake vacuum line where it attached to the intake duct. One hint was that the brakes were not working well either, since the brake power booster wasn't getting full vacuum. I replaced that brake vacuum line and also the throttle bypass valve and its hardened, cracked rubber hose that connects it to the intake duct, so those might have been problems too. I did not replace the plastic intake duct to the supercharger because it appeared okay and I didn't want to spend any more money at that point. I replaced the two rubber seals on the intercooler but probably didn't need to. At any rate, the P1498 code disappeared when it was reassembled and it's a happy Mini again.

Google it. The directions are one of the first pages that pops up

Yep this one does this is the S model not the normal ones with no turbo or supercharger I wouldn’t buy the normal you know me I don’t buy then normal junk it has to be SPORT or something nice otherwise I won’t even look at it I’m too good for that and too special as I tell everyone when I go to look at the car I tell them I’m better then them and make them feel like shit like the guy who owned it is watching he knows what I think about him

@@BMWDoctor There's a story behind that.

@@kevinvandevelde9789 nah man no story just the way I am what you drive represents who you are and I dont want a basic car sitting outside my house where people will say that's crap allow it scrap it here in the uk nobody likes basic models or they will smash your car up just how it is or they will laugh at you at the lights while they pull u[ in there AMG Mercedes

@@BMWDoctor WoW here its what you can afford as we say it is what it is I've had cars pull up with idler squealing like hell and exhaust falling off no one say's anything heck I've seen trunks and hoods held together with bunging cords and duck tape.

Kevin Vandevelde man if I saw that I wouldn’t buy it that’s just not me Here cars are very very cheap that’s why all the Europeans come over here buy and take back over our cars are cheap cheap you can get m sport cars here e60 for 1500 all day 530i fully loaded that’s how cheap this country is e39 goes for about 1k m sport Mini Cooper s goes for about 2k That’s why here they have to be in mint condition because of mot nobody can have cars like that if they do it will fail mot and then the car will be worth even less for me it’s a bargain but I still wouldn’t buy as I have to have that outside my house and I have a reputation everyone that knows me knows I would NEVER ever buy some car like that IM TOOOOO OCD that’s why I suit KZfaq nathan is the only one that buys cars like that That ain’t for me Here if you drive a piece of crap expect everyone to treat it like a piece of crap that’s how it is in the Uk people only want you driving sport or as they say YOUR NOT BALLING

what for so you can see everything I dont think so if you mini people were more likeable I would do things better like I do for my bmw guys but I did this on purpose but you are viewing so thats what counts !!!!

BMW Doctor bullshit... you’re holding the camera in one hand with a locked arm to steady it but you talk with your arms which moves your body... seems you’re the childish ignorant one.

@@BMWDoctor haha haha. Ok can you send me one then? It’s my grandmothers mini who is no longer with us and I do like me beemers.... (JDM cough cough) 😆👍
