Strange CEL & DSC lights on...

[DarkMiniCooperS]

Hi motorers...

I've had some problems with my MCS since last week... The DSC won't turn on sometimes when I start my car... When it happens, I usually re-start the engine and the DSC is ok.

The worst part is the Check Engine Light (CEL) that's always on... I've been to two different dealer and they both found a misfire in cylinder 4. The only thing they both did was to clear the codes and say everything should be fine..

Does anyone came across a similar problem?

My MCS has 58 000 Km and I still love it but problems just keep coming...

In the last year, I've been to the dealer 23 times for CEL - steering problems - windows rattles and many other problems...

Are you still in warranty?? If so why don't you tell them to fix it or buy it back??

Souds like exactly what I have going on.. Not on warranty =(. So what happened? What are my options?

My check engine light kept coming on for cylindar misfire. I found that whenever i tried to get on it, the engine would sputter, and sometimes would seem like it was only running on 2-3 cylindars.

if yours says cylindar misfire i would say to change your spark plugs, and wires. I got the nology hot wires and i love them! i noticed a huge difference!
