    Update . DONE!!! After 800$ and going around at least i kno that parts that were about to go, have been replaced soooo. Spark plugs, air filter, both vanos or vvt, diverter valve , timing chaing tensioner, dtml pump, and last but not least expensive throttle valve spring was too loose so it took the limp away. Have the chek engine on but going to the shop later to reset and see if anything else should be replaced. Hopefully not but for now this headache is solved

    @Freddy valentin here is the code reader I have

    https://www.amazon.com/FOXWELL-Automotive-Diagnostic-Transmission-Registration/dp/B019QCG5RE/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Foxwell+Mini+code+reader&qid=1590086737&sr=8-7

    It will read all the BMW/MINI codes, including ABS. You can also control systems to test them and data log. It will even fire the ABS unit so you can bleed it. @Dave.0 uses one that works with a PC with that one you can even code. It is a more extensive system. I am sure he will be along to tell what the name of it. I am getting old and cant remember.

    The plastic pip that goes from the intercooler to the intake can get splits in them. Check for small brakes in the intake piping also.

    Update on my nightmare. Took the intake off cleaned throttle body, rechecked all plugs, plastic hoses. Limp mode still kicking in on my way to the parts store to check the codes.

    Be aware the reader the parts store has will only read generic codes. It will not pick up those secret BMW/MINI codes. I'm not sure what code reader you need, but there people here who know. Hang tight someone will chime in with the answer.

    Nice looking Clubman. Now that you have it all straightened out it is time to start modding it.

    Scan the car again and look at what the codes are listing this time.

    Also, more info about your car would help. (Year, Milage and mods)

    Agree with Dave.0 more information is needed. What you describe sounds like faulty turbo, I had two. replaced under warranty, the intake tubing will sometimes develop a crack, causing similar fault / half power mode. Our 2011 finally was fully cured with a replacement exhaust vanos valve, but I am suspected we had mutliple issues. I even took the aftermarket intake system back to stock and it did not cure the issues. We are clean now, other than a leaking crankshaft seal at 77K.

    More inforation, verbage from you scan tool and the codes and have you had the computer reset with the MINI technicians deep reset options, basically everything clean. If you have codes after all the work you did, I will pray for you.

    I cant find the other code. Are you sure you got everything plugged back in correctly? I would check all the connections also check all the hoses and tubes
