Thanks for this vid. I’ve got a Mini Cooper Hatch 1.6 R56 2011 that had the same problem. Intermittent misfires. It got worse this week with the engine light coming on and flashing, so I booked it into a garage for this Tuesday. The diagnostic test was gonna cost £49.99 alone! Yesterday I thought I’d look on TH-cam for tips and saw this video. So I ordered a coil pack from Europarts, £25, swapped the same coil pack as you, no.4 this morning and it’s sorted the problem. No misfires. Gonna cancel that garage visit now. Possibly saved me £200!! Thanks again!
It was your explanation at the end of your vid that did if for me. It was exactly what I was getting. Hard to explain to a mechanic. Thanks again, again, you’re a star!
Thanks. I had a cylinder 3 misfire. Turbo felt strained. Replaced coil #3 and it sounds better, smoother turbo not kicking in completely yet. Maybe a few more miles. Thanks so much. Super helpful and easy as you promised.
Thanks very much! Your description of symptoms was spot on! I also had an introductory offer from eurocar parts so got my coil pack for just £12! So I bought 2 just in case? Saved me a few bob in garage charges!!
added information to email from Michael Beasley on the 2011 Mini cooper. I changed out the spark plugs. i changed out the 4 Coil Packs. problem still there.
I’m having problems when taking off in my Cooper none turbo. It’s jerking from around 0-20mph, I change the spark plug and the problem was less but still there I’m about to change the wire and coil pack to see if that helps I was thinking it was my transmission
Bugger, did the trick of turning the car on and unplugging each coil to check if any noise reduction and the 4 all seem to work. Spark plugs next I think

Do you think it's a case of just buying 1, take out old put new in and see if that works and if it don't just put old coil back in and work your way through it?
@@projectmoto9089 Crazy with this Minis. I have code for MAF plausibility with code 002b68. Replaced downstream and upstream O2 sensors with no luck. Don't know what to do.
@@projectmoto9089 I saw that thread before, thanks. I think I will have to say farewell to mine and placed it in classfieds. I’m probably £1000 deep in parts and labor last year and half. I think it is time to walk away.
Didn't take long to go wrong did it! At least it was a cheap fix. I'm sure they would have done it under warranty, but it's just quicky to do it yourself.

I'm really pleased that the video helped you!
NAILED IT! Bad coil had my 08 mini r56 S running like crap. Thanks a million, dude!
Excellent, i'm glad it helped. I really need to make a follow up on this.
Perfect thank you, I've the same issue currently...
The other thing worth checking is your spark plug gap!!!
Exactly what I've got atm, cheers for the video

Excellent, im always pleased to help!
Just changed mine now! 2014 cooper S F56 hatch. About a half hour in the drive ( after I got the right parts delivered ) ....
Your coil packs are pretty well priced. Thanks for sharing.
This is exactly what our mini is doing thanks going to give it a go 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Rodders, let everyone know how you get on.
Project Moto will do.
Project Moto sorry it’s been a while all good sorted the problem thanks again for the video. Normally I would have changed all 4 only 1was faulty 👍🏻👍🏻

Your dealer needs a good dressing down. Thanks again for sharing buddy!
You're welcome, I hope it helped.

Hi
Your explanation is fine but your voice is so far away even though my volume is at the peak I can hardley hear you .
Tnx
Sorry about that, I can hear it very clearly on my laptop though? I do need a dedicated microphone though.
What coil pack did you purchase?

In fact the info is right at the end of the video. I hope this helps.

@@TheKingandrew1984 hi, yes I'd say so. Its quite apparent when you get the right one. I hope this helps you.
What fault codes did it have?
Strangely enough I didn't have any, it maybe didn't reach the specified amount of misfires in the allotted time.

Some 20 point check mate, the fkrs need naming and shaming.
Who’s the dealer?
