If its still doing it, I dont think its the belt. Ive got a 19 with the Gator belt and have just recently had redline slipping. However, this is a fresh belt and I would imagine maybe might need a bit of extra tensioning. It could be your belts stretched a tiny bit and may need the same or at least a new belt regardless of type.

Hi Robbo

Unfortunately the codes that you get through menu 14 are numerical codes that don't correlate with the letter/number type codes that you would get if you hooked it up to a diagnostics computer

I haven't seen anywhere where they are actually decoded either

But your right, rather than guessing, take it to Peake or BMW and they can tell you straight away what is likely to be causing it.

Hey guys, thanks heaps for all your help.

The belt i installed was a brand new shorter one that came with my pulley from ALTA. Its a NAPA belt.

Peter Kaiser is very helpful, and I'm sure he'll be willing to check it out.

Robbo, i was actually thinking in buying a OBD scanning tool + plug to hook into my laptop. Where can you find the software and the cord?

Unless your car received compliance after January this year, it's not likely to work - it certainly didn't on my 03/03 MCS. The OBD II standard only came into force in Australia at the start of this year for cars in production prior to Jan 05.

Damn....how do all the guys on NAM use it then? not all of them have 06 cars...

MickyD · Apr 21st, 2006, 03:07 AM

no, but OBD-II has been legislated in the US for a number of years and the cars delivered to there are different.

Sadly, it has.

AndrewH · Apr 21st, 2006, 04:47 AM

It's got to the point now where I think they should do us all a favour and take it off their web site

They obviously can't do it

The Bentley Mini manual has a table of MINI FC (Fault Codes). The numbers range from 48 to 9220. Are they the numbers that will come up when in menu 14?

I have been unable to find, in the Bentley manual, that these numbers are seen through menu 14.

It's been a while since I looked into it, but I don't think so - but I could be wrong

Rampant Lion · Apr 21st, 2006, 07:51 AM

Not on yet but I just bought and paid for my Aero Side Skirts, next is painting and fitting.; I aim to have this done by 5th May

I can't wait to complete the kit

WORKSRACER · Apr 21st, 2006, 09:00 AM

i should be able to access the codes if you give them to me as i have the latest software but it will be next wednesday before i go back to work.
cheers

How about a lid for my Alta intake...

Baker · Apr 22nd, 2006, 07:21 AM

Nice one Tiaan, you made it yourself (rather than buying their one?)

I'm not a fan of the lid personally, but it looks good mate.

ScottyB · Apr 22nd, 2006, 07:28 AM

Nice work Tiaan!
