Alfredo Avalos I found this. EP mode means limited power. Worst case its transmission, best case it might be a new battery needed. > glowingajour.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/mini-cooper-emergency-program-ep.html?m=1
Just a question, 3 of these symbols come on when I turn the key once and it lights up the dashboard, just before starting the car.... but disappear once the engine has started. Should I still take notice of them ? Oil, EML and battery . I had an issue with my engine turning itself off yesterday whilst driving and I’m trying to work out what the problem could be....
Obviously a fault. They need to be checked because in theory they could just deploy whilst you are driving ! Get an obd2 computer on it and it should tell you the fault. Good luck
If you mean the one at the end of the temp dial that’s just a red warning light, if temperature gets anywhere near that pull over and switch off the engine.
Sometimes my asc light is attive but asc stil working. Sometimes it disappear, i friend to switch the butano on/off but Nothing happen. Can be the cold winter temperature or humidity that produce some contacts issues?
When you press the button the ASC light should remain ON warning you the anti skid device is disabled. You are correct in that dirt and corrosion can cause issues. Make sure your tyres are all inflated correctly (this can set the light off sometimes). There is a link here on how to replace the Wheel speed sensor, fairly easy job but getting the old one out can be tricky if it's never been replaced before. > th-cam.com/video/H47uRXH9nEI/w-d-xo.html&
@@LurgsHowToGuides when i press button for the asc nothing happen apparently, the asc led is light on with or without using the button! but when i press strong on accelerator, the asc system flashes and seems asc system still working and i think it is not deactivated. Dunno what to think but this problem is present after snows... the yellow light of the button for activate/ddeactivate asc do not working only when i have this problem... when i don't have this problem the button seems work properly and i can activate and deactivate asc. Sometimes when there is the problem also other functions do not works... for example fog lights seems do not working ( sometimes ). I thought there is a problem of contact/humidity... cold temperature. After some day the problem vanish by himself. A mistery =(
@@Cyprin86 Fog light issue is a separate thing. Probably worth checking all your fuses (internal and engine bay) (I've got videos in my Mini Playlist). If they all check out ok then you may have a problem with a wheel speed sensor. You could try an OBD2 reader to see what error it shows (when the light is on). It's a pain when cars get old and they have all this technology as it all starts to go wrong!
Very helpful! A quick question though, although I have the light and what I believe is the button for cruise control I cant seem to work it. Does it actually have cruise control or am I missing something? Thank you.
The engine oil pressure in my mini r50 comes on and the seller told me that the sensor is unserviceable is it a common a problem and if the sensor is faulty does it comes on red !!
I'd be very worried about that because engine oil pressure is crucial. You shouldn't even drive a car if the engine oil pressure light is on (until you know what the fault is). I'd get that seen to asap.
I have a complicated question when the engine isn't on but the ignition is on my indicator on my dash works and sound but when I start it the led switch doesn't work or the sound but from the outside my indicators work anyone know what's going on?
hi i have a mini cooper R52 model 2005 i can't manage to make a diagnosis every time a message of Problem KL15 no volt appears please help me what i have to do
I'm about to buy a 2006 Mini one D, and I asked the seller if you could display digital speed on the dashboard, he said no. But from what I've been searching every Mini has it. Does he have no idea he can display the speed, or can it not really display the speed?
It's not available on this model on my channel but I believe it is available on some later models. Try pushing the end of the turn indicator stalk in. This cycles through the different screens in the display. When you get to the one that has instantaneous speed, leave it and after a few seconds it will transfer that to the digital readout under the Rev Counter. But I think it may be an 'option pack' so may not work on all Mini's.
Hello all, I have a question and I hope you help me. On mini One D 2003 I want to install cruise control it's enough to change my steering wheal to on a multifunctional one? or need something else. I hope that you will help me. Thanks in advance.
That sounds like a very big job, I wouldn’t even try, it won’t be as simple as changing the steering wheel, you may need a computer update and different wheel sensors. Be easier to buy a car with Cruise Control I think!
@@LurgsHowToGuides Thanks for the reply. I thought that I will change just steering wheel and update computer and that's all, regarding sensors do not know witch sensor needed. I will greatly appreciate if such a video will appear on your channel. Out of sporting interest, don't you have the desire to make one like that? :) will be very interesting. Thanks.
Vonet Vonet If it's at 1m24 that is the exhaust system. Possibly it's got a hole in it or maybe an issue with the catalytic converter (if it has one). Have a look underneath when you rev it and see if you can hear it blowing
Hi, recently my car failed mot for faultyc asc or dsc switch and warning light, i removed and checked switch was from different car as year dosent match, is there a chance my mini dosent have asc or dsc ?
Alex Juskowiak I expect you do have it on your Mini, when you turn on the ignition see if that light comes on. It’s ridiculous they fail for things like that, it’s not the end of the world as old cars don’t even have it.
Alex Juskowiak it’s very unlikely. Get an OBD2 reader and read the fault codes. Could be a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor. I’ve got a video how to replace one.
@@LurgsHowToGuides just replaced my abs sensor as abs was also on and there is still no asc/asc light at all, checked with inpa and front left sensor was at fault.
R50 and R53 are very similar and all my videos should cover both models. After that they changed shape a bit and that was a newer version. Personally I love the R50 R53, a classic shape. The modern ones they've got rid of the nice large central Speedometer, booo.
Hello mate. Can u retrofit cruise control? Also u could have mentioned to fuel warning light, the "0" line on the fuel gauge turns to red when u get below an 1/8th of a tank. No biggy :) . Love the cars though, so brilliantly simple dashboards. The Mrs car is more modern and has too much clutter on the dash in my opinion.
Cooper 2004 O yeh I forgot the fuel warning light. I doubt if you can retrofit cruise control, so much traffic in U.K. you'd never need it, it's all stop start!
Cooper 2004 You can get cruise control put on. I Have just had this added onto my car with a my kit functional steering wheel. You might need to purchase some additional wires but easily done.
That amber triangle with circle arrow also could mean there is a issue with fuel pump. My goes on today and exhaust was so noisy . Then after hours warning ⚠️ gone and who knows what exactly its mean
If you’ve pumped up all tyres it sounds like a faulty ABS wheel sensor. I do actually have a video on how to replace that but it’s a fairly involved job. Or if you’ve changed wheels or have different tyre sizes on each wheel it can send the sensors crazy

Lurgs do you know what EP means.
Its showing than on the P,R,N,D screen..but now only show EP...its a mini 2005

Lurgs thank you very much
Alfredo Avalos Hope you get it sorted. Good luck.
So helpful! Thank you ... just bought a 2006 Mini yesterday and a light popped on today ... it's just the tyre pressure. Thanks again.
+Jennifer Keogh I've also got a video to fix that, check it out. Glad to have helped.
06 mini s owner here. Great video helped me out
Thanks. Have a very Merry Christmas. 🎄
Thank you for this video I just bought a 2006 and I knew nothing about the buttons thanks to this I'm good 👍
Cool, glad to help. Enjoy your Mini, I still love the look of the First Generarion Mini’s.
Thanks very helpful!👍
Glad I was able to help out. 😎
Alternator is gone, cheers mate 👍👍
Check the alternator belt to make sure it’s not loose or snapped first. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Caitlin Darroch Well check the oil level, check the battery as well. Odd the engine turned off, sounds electrical or a fuel pump issue
excellent, great little video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and hope it was useful. 😎
Question, why would the air bags need to be checked? That light stays solid
Obviously a fault. They need to be checked because in theory they could just deploy whilst you are driving ! Get an obd2 computer on it and it should tell you the fault. Good luck
What does the red light mean to the left of the temperature gauge?
If you mean the one at the end of the temp dial that’s just a red warning light, if temperature gets anywhere near that pull over and switch off the engine.
What if the light is permanently on ??
Hello Good morning, I can't find the video to remove the tire pressure gauge from the mini cooper, could you help me remove the light, thanks

Why are the red lights on the red line limit on and why don't all of them turn on. Two of them are always off
At what point in the videos is this? Not sure what lights you mean
@Lurgs How To Guides in the intro. The redline limit on your is lit up at 7 rpm but mine are all on except two of the dash marks
@@LurgsHowToGuides it probably doesn't mean anything
@@Richieboi-1 Nothing to worry about. Only worry if you have red icon warning lights permanently displayed.
My bonnet/boot light is on but they are both shut properly?
Probably a sensor on the catch release somewhere. Hope you can get it sorted
DSC should be active or not?
It should always be active but the light should only flash on when it has kicked in. If the light is permanently lit then there is an error somewhere.

How can i tell what model my mini is? I have no clue if its an R50 or R53 or ......
R50 and R53 are very similar and all my videos should cover both models. After that they changed shape a bit and that was a newer version. Personally I love the R50 R53, a classic shape. The modern ones they've got rid of the nice large central Speedometer, booo.
R50 mini one/ cooper
r53 cooper s
R52 convertible
Went out in the cooper s today and shat myself when I was ragging it and a light came on. Thankfully it was the asct light turning on.
guitaroidman524 Yeh my Van does that if you give it some welly in the wet.
guitaroidman524 that happened to me too and I freaked out I bought a cooper S r53 and thank god its not something serious

I just got 2004. How can I switch from miles to kms.
I have since fitted cruise control and it works well 😄. Not sure miles to km. you can probably look in the manual or search it on TH-cam

If you’ve pumped up all tyres it sounds like a faulty ABS wheel sensor. I do actually have a video on how to replace that but it’s a fairly involved job. Or if you’ve changed wheels or have different tyre sizes on each wheel it can send the sensors crazy
