Hello All, Just purchased a 2006 Mini and it has an engine light. My wife had a friend selling and she was interested and the deed is done. I will look at the code in the morning but know nothing of Mini's. I will have to learn from the forum!!!!!! I am an aircraft mechanic and know my way a little bit but this is new to me. Thanks for all everyone post and having this to help!!!!!!!!!!!! Sandy
Welcome to M/A! The '06 MINI is the last of Generation 1 and the S model is said to be the best of the bunch. Not knowing if you have the Cooper or the Cooper S, I'm not sure I can be of any help, but many people here have forgotten more than I shall ever know about the MINI. That said, my wife's '06 MCS had its engine light on recently and all it took for it to go out was to retighten the gas cap! Again, welcome, enjoy your new ride, and, good luck!
You can find most of the info you need here on M\A and we can help but we need to know what the code is? Also provide a little more details about your 06. This book will also save you a lot of time. Every DIY guy should have one. https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Cooper-Service-Manual-2002/dp/0837610680/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1490101293&sr=8-3&keywords=MINI+bentley+service+manual Welcome to MA.
