Hi there,
I've got an R56 Mini ONE that started idling erratically. The engine management light flashed and then turned off again. Then it stayed on.
It started running lumpy with a loss of power and the dodgy idle was still there.
I've just had it plugged into diagnostics which has revealed the following fault codes:
287D. Vanos inlet actuator movement
277D. Combustion misfire, cylinder two
I'm thinking that the coil might be to blame for the misfire but any ideas on the Vanos?
The codes were cleared but the engine management light came back within 10 minutes
The car is a 2009 1.4 petrol has 48,000 miles and a full Mini main dealer service history.
The problem is, I'm 200 miles away from home in Leicester and BMW Mini Synter in Leicester happen to the most unhelpful main dealer I've ever visited!
It seems to be running at full power again now but I'm reluctant to drive home without knowing what it is or fixing it. The dodgy idle and the engine management light are still present.
Thanks in advance
