    I was wondering why are my back up lights not working? I replace the bulbs I replaced the switch or the transmission. Is it possible they could be turned off? Or is it possible that the cable has to be adjusted to hit the switch?

    Hi. Thanks so much for this great video! Is there any place where we can learn how to use the hidden menus for programming the car? I have a Mini diesel 2007 and she not going above 3000 rpm... very lamming 2,3 4 gears and the 'wakes up' a bit in 5 gear.... clibbing looses power and goes from 70 mph to 50 or 40..... what could be wrong/?

    Hi when I access the mini cooper OBC it only shows L side of the tank to be filled entire tank while R side show 0.00 is this possible if thank is divided to two parts? When I fill it up and enter option 06 only L side is e.g. 36 L R is 0.00...is this ok?

    Hello, I purchased a paceman s 2015 about 4 months ago. How do I know if the service indicators are correct. I only noticed recently, when I first put the key fob in, start the car, it shows service with a -5000, but I don't recall seeing this when I first purchased the vehicle. I recently had an oil change and I am wondering if the tech set the service information incorrectly, or does the computer on the vehicle automatically reset itself? I did not get an owner's manual with the vehicle,but I downloaded one from online which is a countryman/paceman combo manual. Several features on the paceman are not in the manual, like do I have a factory alarm on the car. When I use the key fob to lock the car, I don't hear the little beep sound when most people hear when they remotely lock their vehicle, that's one thing. Another thing is there's like a little rectangular, red color, I think liight on top of the tachometer and I have no idea what its for, it doesn't light up and i'm not sure whether it is a light or not. There is also what appears to look like a camera lens on the backside of the rear view mirror but i'm not sure what it's for either, I thought maybe it was the garage door opener feature, but there are no buttons on the mirror anywhere to activate!!! , that's just a few of my unknowns, can you help?

      I think I'm a bit late. The LEDs work in a closed loop if I can remember correctly. That means if one is dead non of them wil work. So you need to test one at a time. It will most probably be one in the door because there's more movement and vibration that can damage them through the years.

    • @mrfixpl
      @mrfixpl  5 лет назад +2

      You can check in the hidden menu (or with a diagnostic interface) if your engine is warming up correctly. If you have a faulty thermostat your engine can never reach optimal temperature causing increased fuel consumption, premature engine wear and DPF clogging (if you have diesel engine).

    • @onirrapdivad
      @onirrapdivad 2 года назад +4

      A friend of mine is a mini mechanic and works on some sort of professional mini racing team. He explained to me that because the temperature bounces around so wildly, a gauge would be useless. Support is the great unfunded liability. Everyone would bring their car in thinking something is wrong because their temperature keeps bouncing around from 210-255°
      Not worth the hassle. Solution is to not publish the values on the dash and have a warning symbol pop up if something is wrong. These engines run hotter to be more efficient and fluctuate between hot and cold depending on driving conditions. It's too much for the typical driver to keep track of.

    • @mrfixpl
      @mrfixpl  2 года назад +2

      @@onirrapdivad Thanks for that! That's one solution, but other manufacturers have different solution. For example my old Volvo kept the temperature needle in the middle of the gauge for a range of temperatures which are considered to be normal (something like 85 to 95). Going higher than 95 or lower than 8 would move the needle.

      Well, it's a diagnostic menu. So you can perform diagnostic test of the instrument cluster, check if gauges work correctly, if all display pixels are fine, if gong and chime work. View some live data like coolant temperature, battery voltage. Also adjust estimated fuel consumption correction value so it matches real world numbers.
