| New owner-used MINI
So, I picked up a 2003 last week with 38k miles on it. I purchased it from a dealer, and ran the requisite checks on it and everything came up clean. However, I couldn't get much service info on it. So far, everything seems good, I had certain things chcked for.
Now, I have a few questions.
1) Does the mechanic (or delership) have to reset the computer after an oil change? mine is showing that i'm a few thousand miles overdue, yet the dealership I bought it from says they did an oil change before I took it, and I've checked the levels, which are good -the oil looks clean as well.
I like the idea of the service indicators, so is there any way to reset this without having the dealership do it? Anyone here get theirs done outside the dealeraship? How do you keep track of when to do it- I know it's not advised to do one every 3,000 miles, like Jiffy Lube or someone will advise.
2) My coolant level is low. I've read that there is recommended MINI coolant. I'm not near a dealer, is there somewhere I can order it? Also, does it need to be flushed, or is it fine just to top off?
Thanks. It's been great to find this forum.  |
