Hello Folks!
My 2007 R56 JCW has developed a starting problem. I had it serviced and decoked six months ago (5000km) and it was running sweet as, however it now has intermittent cold starting problems.
Push the button, it starts and runs for a few seconds and then dies. It sometimes does this 5-6 times. It seems that the cylinders drop off until it is left running on one than none.
Once the engine has started and the engine is running smoothly, there are no more problems. hot or warm starts seem to be no problem. Somewhere I read that this could be the coolant temperature sender unit, but anyone had the same symptoms, and if so, what could be the cure?
A few weeks ago I had an engine error warning "Reduced Power". I switched off and then back on and it seemed to clear the problem and normal power was back. I don't think that this was related to the cold start problem, but how do I access error codes without taking it to my favourite service centre?
Cheers!
