I failed at an attempt to install new PIAA wiper blades on my 2018 F60 Countryman.

I bought a set of PIAA Sitech wiper blades for the Countryman from my local Lordco a couple of months ago and my wife didn't want them installed yet. So I finally go around to it. It appears MINI used a different wiper mount with each generation and facelift of the MINI. The wiper mount on my R53 is different than the 2013 R56 Cooper (which was different than all the other R56 years) and now, the F60 Countryman has a totally different mount than PIAA has an adapter for.

Since I have had the blades for more than a couple of months, I can't return them. auurrgghh.

 

Bummer.

 

Back up a few months, I had GIR at the dealership for a check engine light that appeared after they did some recall work. I wish I could remember what the code was but they said it was either MAP sensor or the hose leading to it, or that is where they would start. They had neither in stock so I ordered them myself and replaced the MAP and all the other things they pointed out during their inspection, except for the hose. It looks like an extreme pain, more than I really wanted to go through at the time.
Back to real time, I have GIR “running” again but he has thrown a few faults - DTCs. From my research I have found that most suggested resetting the adaptations. It took a few attempts and I am down to one code that will just not go away, P1239 “DME; pressure sensor, intake manifold before compressor, input to low when engine stopped. “ Before I start ripping things apart again, has anyone run across this before. I am having a hard time with how pressure can be to low with nothing running.

Congratulations !!

 

A question for all. I am looking to add the Rennline pedal boards to GIR. According to Rennline they won’t fit with Coco Mats. Its been a while but I seem to remember running across a members thread showing the pedal boards installed with the Coco Mats. Am I imagining things? Any help would be appreciated.

Good to hear your up and running with no codes.

 

That's great, now do it 5 more times.

 

I might have spoken to soon. Fired GIR up this morning seemed ok, let it warm up and the window started having convulsions again. With it being dark out noticed the cabin lights stayed on the whole time the key was in the ignition. Heading to shop this afternoon.

If the shop doesn’t fix it maybe an exorcism is in order.

 

I would but I keep it lock up in a storage lot with no power.

 

Just keep it charged up and you'll be fine.
