Sensor failures
Modern engines rely on numerous sensors (oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, etc.) that can fail and cause performance issues or trigger warning lights.
Cooling system problems
Overheating can occur due to coolant leaks, radiator issues, or water pump failures, leading to potential engine damage.
Oil consumption
Some MINI engines are known to consume more oil, which requires frequent oil level checks and top-ups to avoid engine damage.
Transmission problems
Issues with the transmission, such as rough shifting or transmission fluid leaks, can affect the vehicle's drivability.
Electrical issues
Modern vehicles can experience electrical problems, such as faulty wiring, battery issues, or alternator failure, leading to various malfunctions.
Fuel system problems
Clogged fuel injectors or fuel pump failures can lead to poor engine performance and starting difficulties.
