  1. I use pressured air to expel debris by means of a lengthy tube attached to an air line blower. Alternatively, one might utilise a substance such as brake cleaner. This involves procuring a 5-liter container, obstructing the orifice, pouring the cleaner within, and agitating it. To cleanse the pipes, one may affix a cloth to a length of rope and draw it through, yielding satisfactory results.
  2. In order to properly clean the intake pipes, it will be necessary to remove any plastic debris that may have accumulated in the intercooler and pipes.
  3. Only authentic JCW cars are equipped with a larger 211bhp compressor. Therefore, if a Cooper S is listed as having 174bhp to 184bhp, it is essentially the same. I have personally used Mellet products extensively and they have proven to be reliable. Alternatively, you could consider contacting Motorparts Direct and inquire about a remanufactured turbo. Specifically, if you call MPD in Callington and mention that Mini Mike recommended their remanufactured turbos, they will provide you with a price for a complete turbo if that is the method you prefer for fixing it.Avoid purchasing the £250 turbochargers from China online since they have a short lifespan.
  4. There is a distinction between JCW (John Cooper Works) and non-JCW models. The ordinary Cooper S model has a smaller compressor.
  5. Indeed, that plastic object has passed through your turbo impeller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/391074256244?hash=item5b0dd79574:g:2X8AAOSw6WFZ~J1-&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338767388&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595941X54cc4621552821ad56ccf8a54e7d9786
  6. The most cost-effective method is to install a mellet chra.
  7. The turbo has malfunctioned due to the plastic debris that has entered the intake pipe. It is probable that restoring the turbo oil pressure would resolve the issue.
  8. I resolved my issue by using mapping techniques. However, the potential causes might vary, ranging from a vacuum leak to a boost sensor or MAF sensor malfunction. These components are interconnected, including pressure converters, which may also contribute to the problem.
  9. Has the vehicle been remapped?This code was one of the ones I had when there was a problem with the map.
  10. In my view, determining the price for this vehicle is challenging due to its mileage and engine problem. However, apart from those issues, it seems to be in decent shape. What is the selling price for running variants with similar mileage and specifications?
  11. While I do not really like black wheels, one advantage is that they do not show brake dust.
  12. Elaborating noun Auto detailing refers to the meticulous cleaning of both the inside and outside of a car, as well as doing small repairs to enhance its overall look. According to the definition, it just has to be free of dirt and not subjected to paint correction or polishing/waxing.
  13. I prefer to clean my automobiles instead of detailing them, since I do not reside in the United States. Is it expected for them to have a glossy appearance?...I have seen that Mercedes offers a range of alternative finishes for its wheels, ranging from a matte appearance to a very glossy finish.
  14. It is commendable that you are not up to date with what is required. It is often easy to postpone or neglect some matters. I believe you need tyres and brakes.
  15. Greetings, friend. I am experiencing the same problem with jerky movements. Have you successfully resolved the issue you were facing?
  16. The gearbox oil has to be changed after driving 20 km.
  17. Begin cleaning the breakers. Subsequently, get a bodyshop to accommodate their needs.
  18. It is essential to ensure that the tyres are inflated to a higher pressure level within the permissible range, sometimes referred to as a 'laden automobile'. Additionally, replenish the gasoline tank with high-quality fuel such as Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate, or alternatively, add fuel additives like Redex, Millers, or Forte.
  19. To address the issue, I recommend placing silica bags in and around the dashboard. Additionally, I would inspect the drains on both sides of the engine bay to ensure they are unobstructed. Given the recent heavy rainfall, it is likely that you have inspected the carpets for moisture. It may be advisable to remove the cabin filter and assess any potential damage. If the vehicle is parked on the driveway, it is possible that a small blow heater, set to its lowest setting in the footwell and powered by the garage overnight, could be used to rectify the issue. If this proves effective, it suggests the presence of a minor leak in the vehicle.
  20. If you locate a nearby garage equipped with a spring compressor and willing to accommodate you, anticipate being billed for one hour of work, regardless of the fact that the task may only need 20 minutes to complete. In my opinion, it would be the most unfavourable outcome.
  21. Thank you, it seems that this was an isolated incident. I have not had any issues since then. It is possible that the time was not set correctly or there was some little issue. However, everything is functioning well now.
  22. Thank you for your response. It seems likely that the explanation you provided is correct.
