Our Diesel has developed a problem a problem since Saturday,where, it just cuts out and stops dead as you are driving along, bringing on an ETI light.
Just wondering if anyone esle has experienced the same problem?

It did it 3 times on Saturday and was taken to a nearby dealer at the time. They reckoned to have fixed it.......
But the wife was driving home alone on the motorway at 2:00 in the morning and it did it again!

It's now with the supplying dealer who, have had it since yesterday. They same that the computer did not store any fault and that they just reprogramed the computer, they are going to get one of the technicians to take it home tonight to see if it does it again.

Any suggestions??????........as the dealer doesnt seem to know whats going on.

JVP · Nov 21st, 2003, 07:43 AM

I have not yet had this problem so far.
However I sometimes have another problem.

Once the engine is warm it usually starts extremely difficult. Driving to Italy a few weeks ago and refilling it I sometimes had to try 3 to 4 times before the engine starts at an extreme low rpm only to pick up after a few seconds. If the engine is cold there is no problem at all.
I have been to the dealer and they did some testing on it but did not find a problem. They told me that Mini is investigating similar problems in order to have all MOD’s replace the injectors.
Has anyone else got the same experience?

I have also had a problem with the car not wanting to take the Rev's just after start-up, this has happened a couple of times, but not for a while now

Some of the pre prod cars did this, but my 10,000 miles never did once.
Starting from hot, leave the gas pedal alone til it runs, if you pump the pedal waht cranking it over, it struggles some times.

JVP · Nov 21st, 2003, 11:12 AM

I do never touch the pedal while starting.

ONED · Nov 21st, 2003, 03:59 PM

Dealer has phoned this afternoon, the car failed as the technician was taking it home last night! Still no fault recorded on the computer.
They then investigated further and reckons that there is a problem with the high pressure fuel pump and something esle as well, promlem is ......
These parts are on back order from Germany,......Nobody in the UK is carrying them and the wait time is approx two weeks!!!!
I was about to suggest that I go down the road to my local Toyota Dealer and ask them to fix it!!!

2 weeks wait ... what a downer

Did you ask for a replacement car ?

ONED · Nov 24th, 2003, 07:47 AM

We got a hire car........it's an ASTRA!

gibbon · Nov 24th, 2003, 08:29 AM

God, that's even more depressing !

ONED · Dec 8th, 2003, 06:11 PM

At last!,
Car returned on Friday after almost 3 weeks!

Was told it was a combination of 3 things:

Fuel filter (not that it was dirty or that the fuel had a problem)
Airflow meter
& A.N.Other engine sensor

This was after ordering parts from Germany that made no difference! and robbing bits of a new ONE D

Seems to be fine now though!

AidenL · Dec 8th, 2003, 07:27 PM

Glad you are MINIed again !

ONED · Dec 8th, 2003, 07:29 PM

Yep! ......and going well!

Washed it twice yesterday!

(saddo)

You should have washed it once, and then done mine instead...........

ONED · Dec 8th, 2003, 07:35 PM

The roads are terrible at the minute....it's a waste of time washing.

We collected the car from the dealers in Belfast on Friday evening (Washed)
..but by the time we go home it was like it had just completed a round of the World Rally Championship

Or at least the Donegal Rally!

I haven't washed either car in about 2 months now, from a lack of time, the dirty roads, raining at the weekends, and a weekend sick with the flu..........

Maybe I can justify it by saying its a good protective coating of muck !

ONED · Dec 8th, 2003, 07:46 PM

Me thinks not!

The Derv Doctor · Feb 26th, 2004, 11:53 AM

that problem sounds like a common rail pressure sensor, did it cut out under load at high ish rpm?

MiniLee1 · Mar 7th, 2008, 12:08 PM

That sounds like the same problem I am having with mine - only cuts out at v high speeds/high rpm.

How much is it to fix and why does it not show on diagnostics?

ONED · Mar 8th, 2008, 03:10 PM

Turned out to be a fuel filter issue!

Happened twice! 7K on both filters, some design issue I think, no problems after the 2nd filter though!

Jinkster · Apr 29th, 2008, 09:43 PM

Had that problem once - started straight after and hasnt done it since - that was about 15000miles ago.

Must have been a glitch in the system I was told from MINI Dealer in Sheffield.
