Serious... Because of this video, right now, I'm no longer terrified of my Mini . And now feel confident to keep checking the oil & the catastrophic oil comsumption!
Awesome ty for the kind words!
It will scare you soon enough. Maybe when the valve stem seals go, or when the cat dies, or when the timing chain blows. I haven't even gotten into the electrical failures yet.
@@LynxStarAuto If you change the oil 2x the OEM recommended frequency, the other issues can be avoided. Timing chain should last at least 100K miles with frequent oil changes. The CAT will fail early when the car begins to burn excessive oil and amasses more soot and gunk (as it is direct injected). Frequent oil changes from the start keeps the oil burn issue a non issue. Add on an oil catch can for safe measure.
I change my oil religiously every 3k miles.
Would this failure cause a mini to put out blue smoke
What a refreshing change to encounter a straight talking, informed, professional. Thank you Sir. Just ordered my PCV Valve.
Awe thanks bud
Same, fixing the wife's mini. Same exact problem
@donbell7440 just changing that might not fix it. Pcv on these are more complex than that they have a breather pipe which has another diaphram which yu can't change
Thanks for making this video showing how to do it. I will have a look at line tomorrow and see if it has a hole in it. Thanks again!
omg thank youuu so much this helped me with my new and first car i thought id have to full engine swap the car u saved my broke highschool self tons of money bro
BRO, Thanks so much for this content! I just used the link and bought my own. Will update when complete. My 2009 mini is drinking oil way before my change date. Something needs to happen and this is the first actual convincing piece of repair info I found that actually seems like true DIY. Thanks a million, will update.
No problem my friend. That’s the reason I do these videos.
Update, I’ve got bigger problems. Still siphoning oil. Sorry 😢
@@jarretsantana119 Did you find the real reason it likes oil?
LMAO
Thanks- it took me 4 minutes to install the new one. Car much better now !
Awesome my friend
Im watching this right now after failing emissions..im gonna do whatever you say before i buy a new valve cover...MAMA NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES!!!! LETS GO!!!
Ohh and he bought it with a spring ! Yep definitely the best video on this repair I’m going to do it just in case safe than sorry
My r56 n18 last weeks doing 8.5L/100km , normal driving in city, I found that my PCV valve was massive oil leak , I changed , also found that the plastic support was broke, infixe everything and new pcv valve and now I do 7l/100km ! Impressive ! Very important that valve
Fixed my 2012 mini. Thank you! Super easy and saved a ton of money 😊
Great stuff my friend
Okay. I replaced the PCV which was needed, however now my car is running rough. Chugging while driving and at an idle. Any ideas? It wasn’t doing this before.
@@lavenderblue5730 Your oil cap might be badly sealed.
My 2011 just stalled out after sputtering for awhile. The first fix I saw on Utube was the fuse panel job at 2,500 for the repair. This might be all I need though and I have a new pcv in my shop! Thanks Man!
Awesome bud
How did you get on @timc.6325 ? I've just ordered a new one for mine.
Bro... I have the same problem... now I know what I have to do... thanks so much... you rock!!!
Awe thanks bud.
Did you say mini crapper lol anyway I am a woman I was having problems with my mini white smoke coming out and install one time so of course I went on RUclips and you came up so I did exactly what you said and I can say I don’t longer have that problem so thank you please post more mini repairs just in case I have to get under the hood again lol
Outstanding, thanks for the video and for the tip and for giving the details on how to fix it and find the part cheaper. Thanks
Thanks GDG...Great video. Found a tiny hole in the PCV and with a replacement all is back sounding good.
Great stuff
Did the check engine light come on for them? Mine is on my OB2 reads that cold for the PCV
Thank you brother 👍 you saved me a few pounds
That’s the reason I do these videos my friend
interestingly enough. if you have a R56 cooper s. It has the n14 engine. which unfortunatly you do have to change the whole valve cover. just did it to mine. but the pcv valve going bad causes the same problems on the n14. just keep it in mind :)
I changed mine out as well but still same problem and i am still getting some oil on the valve cover. Maybe the PCV hose?
OMG! Thank you so much! i can actually fix this myself
AWESOME video, Thank you for posting, please keep on producing great content, well appreciated 🙂, Bless 😇👍
Awe thanks for the praise my friend.
@@Gasdieselgarage Be Blessed, my friend , take care, 🙂😇
Thx man, hope it will solve my problem. Greetz from Germany
Thank you this helped me save alot of money.
You’re welcome my friend
Thanks for this! Looking at buying a mini very soon
They are fun little cars..enjoy
Thanks for the great video. I have 2008 R56. 1.6 petrol.
I've had issues with the oil levels for sometime. When the car is switched off, the dipstick doesnt even show an oil level. But when i start the car the oil level on the dipstick was muh higher than the maximum.
Yet, when i take sharp turns or brake abruptly, the oil warning lighy comes on. Therefore i topped it up a little and the warning light stopped coming on.
But a week after that it came on again. I topped up oil. This trpeated a few times unitl i had from time to time added a whole 4 litre can.
The last time i added oil was yesterday. Again, the dipstick dodnt even show an oil level before i started and i poured in about half a litrr which was the last of the engone oil i had.
I then took the car on the motorway and as the revs went up there was a thick cloud of white smoke. I thought i had overfilled the crankcase and that that had caused the whiye smoke.
I did an oil and filter change today. I used an engine flush before hand. However, the white smoke remains from start up.
Could it be the pcv valve cpver thats gone
Also, when I drained the crankcase I got only about 2.5 to 3 litres of oil out. If I did overfill, where did the oil go did it burn through that much oil I'm about 20 miles of driving?
My wife recently purchased a 2013 one owner R56 Mini Cooper with 85k. Well with our luck she was able to put no more than 500 miles on before it stalled out on her while driving. After a 10 minute cool down it start back up so I pulled the rear seat and did a test with the multi meter on the LPFP. While at idle it was reading just over 12v, after warming up I watched it go to just under 11v dc to low 10v dc then 0v when the car stalled. If you waited 10 minutes car would start and repeat the process. Long story short I was convinced it was the relay in the passenger side fuse panel so supposedly there was still some sort of extended warranty on it from the previous owner when the dealership ran the vin so of course it sounded great and had it flatbeded to dealership never telling them about our test. Received a phone call stating they scanned the car and not only needing a new relay (fuse panel) it supposedly needed a water pump and tires which made me chuckle. Ok thanks please just fix the relay and get the car running again. Well it's been almost a week now and we get another call stating they installed the new relay(fuse panel) which wasn't the problem, it needs a new ECU. $1600 later the car was brought back to the house on a flatbed with the same issue. Any idea on what to test without throwing new parts at it? Check engine light is on, runs for approximately 5 minutes then stalls out as I know the LPFP is not receiving power. Any help would be greatly appreciated! jpchelka@ymail.con
VANOS solenoids. Take them out (single 10mm bolt) clean them with brake clean, replace the O rings and put them back in. Only use BMW LL 5w30 oil
Thank you so much for this. Have a peugeot with the same engine over here in the UK.
Awesome…
Unsurprising, it's Peugeot engine manufactured by Peugeot
Nice video. Have this issue and will be check the PCV and buying from the same source.
PCV looked fine. Still have that black carbon in tailpipes tho. Oil smoke from under the hood. Turbo was replaces, fuel pump replaced, no drips underneath and nothing in the engine bay.
@@matthewbittenbender9191 Did you roll the lip around the PCV diaphragm? Sometimes a split hides in the groove.
@@KarmaTiger no. I did end up changing it out tho bc the mechanics I took it to also checked it and didn't secure it so it popped off on a test drive. There was a single cap/pcv piece on Amazon for $13. It had a worse issue.
Holy crap ! I wish I had a friend like you. Or someone like you as a mechanic that I trust! Mini Copper that is one beafff I don’t like even if true! 🤦♀️/❤️‼️I love it’s mini thing! Lol thank again!
FCP Euro and Pelican parts have these in stock as well 👌🏾
This dude still has the best video even though he called it mini crapER lol 😂 you won’t understand unless you own a mini lol something about it
Lol….I was only kidding….Mini Coopers are fun cars
They are fun ! Oppp rEAl bad I see blk on ton not mine yet tailpipe lol yes I’m watching this video again I’m gonna replace it simply because maybe it’s like part of maintenance oil change winter’s coming thermostat housing water pipe was replaced taking notes one more time
Thanks for the video!, I checked my membrane and it's completely destroyed, had excessive oil consumption last week and blue smoked like crazy and intake filled with oil, I have a peugeot 207 cc ep6 5fw which comes with the same engine as mini n12.
Awesome
Was the problem solved now?
Was the issue fixed?
Is it solved now?
No its the N16
Saved my Azz this time bud, thnx !
Just ordered my part, hope it helps, no holes in the rubber but feels really soft that.
Thanks for the video my PVC was okay and this means I have a bigger problem 🤣
Bummer
@@Gasdieselgarage My local BMW authorised service suggested me to use 10w-60 oil or an oil additive that may reduce the smoke. What’s your opinion on that? R56 1.6 atmospheric N12
@@SavvasPe well I can tell you I’ve seen those engines produce a lot of smoke due to worn down valve seals but hopefully that’s not the case with your car…very costly repair because the head would mead to come off. Do you have a turbocharged engine?
@@Gasdieselgarage Here they charge 600€ for this job, replacing valve seals, and unluckily chances are this is my case😛 I used Liqui Moly’s Ceratec just today and I already have seen some reduction but needs more time to check my actual oil consumption. I was trying 5-6 months ago to sell my car in order to buy an Mini Cooper S, which is a turbo but, the Covid-19 in combination with the war impacted and destroyed the second hand car market
I’ve been told there are also other membranes inside valve cover, so fixing only upper one wan’t fix it in complete
where exactlx is it?
gracias amigo yo tambien tengo el mismo problema gracias.
You are soooo awesome!! Thank you! I know I have this problem and I will fix it myself.
Thank You for the video, good thing there are people like you .Can this damaged valve make the engine consume 1 liter of oil per 1000 km?
And the reaction to the gas pedal at the start is bad?
I’m gonna say it’s not out of the question if that can happen because I found a broken valve “rocker”. So I’d check your rockers
I'm back to write an update for everyone. When I changed the PCV valve, the oil burning decreased from one liter to half a liter. Later, I changed the timing chain and valve gaskets for other reasons. After that, the car stopped burning oil altogether. The exhaust also had a bad smell, so I diagnosed it and did some adaptation resets, including engine corrections, adapted vanoses, and some manipulations between the engine and the gearbox. After all of this, my car is now working perfectly, and I'm happy to share my experience with you. Thank you again for the helpful video.
Also, I forgot to mention that after changing the PCV valve while the engine is running, the oil cap gets sucked into the engine. This indicates that the PCV valve is working properly. If you want to diagnose the issue quickly, you can run the engine and open the oil cap. If the cap gets sucked into the engine, it means that the PCV valve is working fine. However, if the valve is not working properly, you can easily open the oil cap and sometimes gases will come out of the engine.
Well well, I was thinking my engine was ooof'd and needed rebuild. I have just ordered one from amazon. If this fixes my car you would be nothing short of a miracle find. My dip stick was dry like the one in this video, the exhaust in the same state and it chuffed out a blue / grey smoke. Praying that this sorts the issue.
Did it work
@@darenm9554 wasn’t the case with mine Mini. Turned out I need a new rocker cover gasket.
thank you so much this is a life saver
Absolutely my friend…it’s why I do these videos. To help
Stopped in the middle of the video...i like him
Thanks a lot you solve my problem
I know this video been out for a while but I ordered PVC valve from Amazon and kit came with rectangular piece what is it
Thank youuuuuuuuuu 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’m hoping this helps
Hello Mold, I am watching your video again lol
Awesome my friend. If you have any questions feel free to ask❤️
Does Mini One have that ? I have R56 but´s Mini One, not Cooper. And yeah, my Mini burns oil.
Will this work for a 2017 twin power turbo mini Cooper base model. And can you do a video on how to remove engine cover. Being a woman I am really green in this area, but I'm willing to learn. Thanks great video!!
the same thing happened with my mini but the thing here is that I checked that part and it didn’t have any holes but I still changed it
Does it made sense ?
Awesome video! I’m going to try this on my 2010 Mini Base… only worry is that the 4 clips will break when taking off the PCV cover preventing another cover to be installed! Have you had trouble with this? Thanks!
Nice job. What size torx bit is on the valve cover & is There only 2 to remove ?
I have bmw f20 n13 engine, using oil pistons are less wet, At idle he is sounding weird so tomorrow wil change the pcv valve. I got als bluesmoke at some minutes idle and then pull the gasssssss and black exhaust tip
I followed your video on this. Thanks so much for doing this. After I replaced the PCV part, I got a lot of smoke coming out afterward. The check engine light is now on. Any recommendations?
It’s normal to have some smoke afterwards, it should go away unless you have a bad valve seal somewhere in the head. As for check engine light you need to find out what the code is that’s stored in the cars ecu…..Autoparts stores can usually tell you for free
Thank you so much ! this helped a lot !!
Absolutely…you’re welcome my friend
Did the cold pipe have any oil in it? Mine is driving fine, good acceleration and boost etc. but I’m getting a white-ish smoke from the exhaust in between shifts. Turbo fading? I’m going to check my PCV valve since you made it so easy. Thank you brother! 👍🏻
Absolutely my friend
Just bought it will be back and report the result after weeks! I am having bad smoke coming out of exhaust for weeks now and I hate it !
Ok now check your rocker arms on the cams….I had one break on me at one point after I did the pcv …that will cause it to smoke bad too.
haha I just paid 500 bucks for one. I will never ever drive a mini cooper. Unless offered one for 500. Thing rips. Burns oil. Little rough on low speed and fine other than that. Took it to my mechanic and guy said the codes are all German. Gunna try your method. Thanks for sharing. For the record I drive a 2011 crown victoria and that'll give you an idea what does it feel like going down to a mini cooper. I can fucking reach the other side door! But it's fun to drive though. And for the money? Unbeatable.
You know what everyone should have a second beater car that they don't care about
Yes! The PCV valve! I rememer the seller told me something about some valve, think its that. For 25 bucks fuck yeah I'll do it. Put another 500 down to turnbo charge it. Give it a crazy paint job.
Crazy thing is the mini in the video was a buddies car but I ended up getting a wrecked Mini Cooper pretty cheap...not sure on what I wanna do with yet.
How flush is it suppose to sit please? Didn’t take note when took old one off and the new one doesn’t seem to fit flush. It has a lip but when pushing it and bashing it doesn’t seem to make a difference comes back up. Thanks 😊
Thanks, I replaced mine but it didn't have a hole in it. I will test it out and see if it still burns oil.
Results?
Thank you very much
I love this video ty for the insight
👍thanks Sharing good video
God bless you man
Ty my friend...godbless!
Thank you
You should do a full Mini Cooper rebuild
How many miles can a new pcv valve run?
Great Video!
No tell honestly…depends on how that engine is maintained.
I have an 08 mini Cooper clubman s , drinking oil like crazy. Took it to mini they said my pcv system is failing leaking oil into the intake, they told me I need to replace the whole valve cover. just got the car so I told the dealer I got it from they said they would replace it if I bought the part , should I purchase the part or go for this pcv fix you suggested
Well if you are getting the whole valve cover from the dealership it most likely will be a few hundred bucks (possibly). But if you want save yourself some money just do the pcv diaphragm like the video. But it’s up to you…it is good the dealer is waving the labor fee
It looks like u damaged the diaphragm with the tool when u where trying to remove it.
Did u fix the cover after recoding? It didnt click right when u were trying to put it back in!
VIDEO STARTS AT MIN 2:12
Ty for the help GDG
I am having this code with my 2014 MINI Countryman S All 4. Do you mind linking me to the one that fits my car? I would appreciate it.
Sure thing , what motor do you have in your Mini Cooper?….
I did find it! Replaced it, and still have the P053A code coming back after clearing it. :/ TY for the reply. I apparently turned off notifications for RUclips and didn't know! 🙄
Judging by the color of that camshaft that Mini has either not been using the right oil or it has gone a LONG time between oil changes
Hi, 2days ago brought a 2012 R56S, 156Kms. Having same issue, white smoke coming when engine is hot & idle. There's a slight oil leak near rocker covers ( no dripping to floor). I checked radiator for any air bubbles while running the engine, nothing observed. It has been recently serviced with new oil filter, air filter & spark plugs. That's all I know about the vehicle and I'm really worrying now. If I do a vehicle diagnostic test ( Quoted $175/hr.) from a local repair shop will it give correct directions? or what should I asked for mechanic?
When I check the forums for similar issues lot suggested following,
1. Thermostat Replace
2. Liqui-Moly Resealer Engine Oil Treatment
3. Head Gasket Replacement
4. Turbo service
5. PCV system checked with pressure analysis
I know nothing about vehicles, and can you tell me where to start?
Awesome thank you 🙏
My 80-year-old dad's 2008 Mini R56 is sputtering and cutting out at low speeds. There is blue exhaust and smoke coming from the dipstick reservoir. Will a bad PCV show these symptoms or is it more likely blowby? How would you go about diagnosing? Thanks for the great video, BTW!
How does the oil level look?…is it constantly low?… yes a bad pcv valve can course the symptoms you are talking about.
great video, honestly dude
I’m getting a miss fire in 2 and 4 lack of power could this be the problem
I love secrets tricks good videos mini crapper UGG!
I've got a 2008 mini cooper has a service engineight on it keeps bringing up mass air flow signal I replaced mass flow sensor both variable timing sensors the only thing it keeps bringing back up is the mass air flow sensor signal any idea or help would be greatly appreciated
Check to see if you have any obstructions or debris (leaves, rocks, dirt) etc…in your intake system starting with air filter, throttle body, and yes even the new mass airflow sensor….clean it all out if you see anything.
Hi Gas Diesel Garage, can you fix the same part on a 2007 copper S N14 without removing or replacing the valve cover as I’ve been quoted £500 for replacement. Thanks!
Can you email me a picture of your valve cover?…I can help you figure out which one you need. My email…..hartmanautomotive@gmail.com
Very helpful ty GDG.
Thank you!
I have an n12 engine also but on a 207 peugeot 1.6L VTI. The car does indeed eats oil in excess (which is "normal" by design) but also, when I stop at a red light and the car is warm enough, there's a smell of burning oil/exhaust in the car's interior.
Could the PVC valve be the issue ?
I ordered the part, so I'll do a follow up
Do you have any oil leaks coming from the oil pan, valve cover?…that maybe the smell coming out of the vents into the interior. Possibly
THE PCV ON THIS MOTOR IS WORKING ONLY WHAN THE GAS IS DEPRESS THAT MAKE PRESSOR ON IDEAL WHAN IN RED LIGHT YOU SHOLD MAKE A CHANGE IN ORDER TO STOP OIL EAT
Hey finally managed to get rid of the oil smell.
First I changed the PVC valve, the smell was still there.
After further inspections of the engine bay, I noticed some smoke coming from somewhere under the right side of the engine.
I went to clean the engine bay next thinking that it could've been some old oil residue but a week later the smell and smoke came back.
I then went under the car for more inspection and noticed that the smoke was coming from the exhaust Line/pipe because of oil leaking on it.
In conclusion : it was a bad gasket rubber seal ; the one that's between the plastic cover and the metal part of the engine.
Monthes ago I changed this rubber myself but didn't seal it correctly hence the leaking
Does this work on the n14 turbo model?
Yes it should but if you’re smoking out of the exhaust I’d check the turbo seals
@@Gasdieselgarage not smoking, just have a hissing noise, upstream airstream leak code and rough idle. I don’t think this pcv setup is the same as my car though.
@@Blakethegoat oh gotcha
Would you happen to know if they offer this for a 07 Mini Cooper S ? Thanks
What does your valve look like?….if you wanna take a picture of it….email me hartmanautomotive@gmail.com..I can point you in the right direction
Are you able to recommend a repair kit for an '08 Cooper S R56? Thanks :)
Let me research that one I’ll get back to you
Great job
got sputtering while idle. not much loss of oil. misfire cylinder 1. oil on top of 1 piston did valve cover, valve cover gasket, fuel injector, spark plugs and coils and o2 sensor. as well as mass air flow and vac line. could this be why its still not fixed and have oil on top of piston? leaning towards this or solenoid. not sure. they said i need a new engine but i don’t wanna believe it
I’d check to make sure your #1 cylinder valve rockers are adjusted properly or not broken…I’ve had that problem too.
thanks for replying. that sounds better than replacing the whole engine. i can’t seem to get a good diagnosis. the rocker can cause oil on piston and puttering while idle ?(up to temp)
@@jewellynn1718 absolutely
Will this work on a 2009 mini S R56
Does this fit the 2008 S model as well?
Life saver❤
Bro thank you!!!!!!
No problem anytime
Hello, is it making vacum on dipstick when pulled out and oil cap vacum when engine is running on idle? Mine is drinking 0.8 l in 1000 km
found any fix?
its burning oil because vti engine have bad pistons and rings, also camshaft is a problem to on early models vti 2007-2010
Damn good video GDG
I like And subscribed
Will that cause smoke to come.iut aswell
Yes absolutely because the pcv valve works as a breather for your engine….when it goes bad your engine acts as a vacuum and sucks oil right through into your exhaust.
@Gasdieselgarage thanks that worked it dropped 16$ but my check engine light on I went to auto zone he said no codes not sure know thought that was the problem but the car runs fine
Will there be oil under that rubber piece
Will this same part number work for a 2009 clubman?
Yes it should be the same if it’s got the same type valve cover as in the video…if it’s not let me know and I can guide you to the right part.
@@Gasdieselgarage and if the other type of cover, how can i do It the repair?
Hey great video thank you so much for it. It is very much appreciated. But I'm a bit confused, are you actually replacing the valve itself or are you replacing just the cover cap? Cuz it looks like it's just the cover cap.
That’s the actual valve. All the pieces under that that cap.
@@Gasdieselgarage 👍 Thanks for clarification and the fast response
I have got the same car, 2011 122hp. Its a beautiful car and fun to drive, but the worst engine ever. The oil consumption is bigger than the fuel consumption. I will replace the pcv but i think the valve seals are the problem. However i try to sell it. Stay away from MINI!!
So irritating, a simple cheap fix for something that can cost you thousands when you blow your engine, I'm really concerned now because my 2017 mini Cooper S with an F56 does not even have a dipstick to check, just an idiot light and sensor measurement that probably displays AFTER your engine is toast and you have to deliberately go into the menu to even check it, not like a gauge that reads out PSI etc. constantly, so you can see drops before damage is done....
