| Yes, the tranny is still under warranty but we are going on a trip in just over a week and I don't trust my car now. A tranny should be good for more than 20,000km, even a CVT.
I am having the car repaired at MINI Richmond, in British Columbia. It was repaired Monday of last week and Friday of last week and is going in again today as the EP light is on again. (They played with the brake switch and brake pedal the last two times.)
In answer to what is linp mode: I am told that the car's computer won't allow it to rev above 3000rpm, to protect the motor or tranny from catastophic failure. Thank goodness, I haven't expreienced it, yet. |
