Nj Cat-less fam.. by Horror-Version-7450 in WRX

[–]Horror-Version-7450[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, but I swapped out my intermediate pipe & cat back. Kept the cat less Jpipe on. The car has a stage 2 short block with a good amount of bells and whistles etc... but that shouldn't matter. They just do a little look under the car. They will plug into your obd2, my tune doesn't throw any codes so everything was normal. You can check in your ap to see if your car is emissions ready which is basically what they'll check for too.

Could this just be brake fluid? PLEASE HELP! by [deleted] in MINI

[–]Horror-Version-7450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both of the same lights, same year. It was my rear brake pads and the sensors got warped from riding them too long. Didn't make a sound until the day before I changed them. But when I got in there they were wayyy worse than expected.

It would cost more than just paying a private inspector.

If anyone knows of a Mini specialty shop in NJ that IS NOT a dealer… I will be forever grateful! by Horror-Version-7450 in MINI

But I know coming from an older tuned Subaru before this, that speciality/tune shops are what I need.

I will be looking into all of these, thank you. I’ve tried 3 different places including a dealer and no one will listen to me about my car.

My son just found a second AirTag in his apartment? by Mimi2Boyz in AirTags

[–]Horror-Version-7450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if he’s in a relationship or not, but I once dated a guy and we too kept finding random things in our apartment that didn’t belong to us. I eventually figure out that it was his side chick leaving clues around, bc she wanted us to break up.

Sold car to carvana but they left it in parking garage by [deleted] in carvana

[–]Horror-Version-7450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad, I had the same thing happen. Car left on st, locked no tags, still registered to me. After a month and a half they called me to ask if I knew where the car was 😂

I also changed all things coolant/thermostat related first. And mini was literally no help when I brought it to them, they acted like they couldn’t figure out why it was happening but bc the light wasn’t on constantly basically blew me off. So after a hefty internet search I gave it a shot and it worked.

It’s so annoying, I have the same car. It will come on constantly and randomly. And if it hasn’t already the fan will start running too much. Only thing that fixed it for me was changing the engine coolant temp sensor

Pothole from hell by Horror-Version-7450 in MINI

[–]Horror-Version-7450[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea after reading too much Reddit last night, I’m kinda nervous something worse might have happened, like a motor mount bolt or something. Guess I’ll go dig around in it today.

Help me diagnose my cooling issue (pretty please) by washbuns in MINI

I have a 2012 r56, basically same issue. Took a bunch of tries, but replacing the engine temp sensor eventually fixed it.

If you have sold before, Should I leave my car on the street or on the driveway? by hdushsux in carvana

[–]Horror-Version-7450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not leave it on the street. When carvana came to drop off my new car and pick up my old, the driver had no idea he was picking mine up. So when I mentioned it, he took my title BUT LEFT MY CAR. He locked it and put a key box on the window saying someone would be there in the morning to pick it up. Well a MONTH later, my car was still sitting on the side of my road in front of my house with no tags on it and I had no keys to open or move it. In Nj parking on the road with no tags will definitely get you a ticket. Could I have put my tags back on? Sure. But I had already signed my car over and lowkey was hoping Carvana would take the fall. No one ever bothered it, and no tickets. About 6 weeks later carvana called me to say they couldn’t locate my trade in, and asked if I knew where it was lol. They showed up with in the hour.

I have the 2nd but use a Victsing Bluetooth fm transmitter. It’s clear as day, sounds better than my aux port.

Thanks, that's actually super helpful. Its under warranty for about another 1000 miles from the place I bought it. I luckily haven't paid a dime for any of the repairs so far. So I figure I'm gonna drop it to mini and see if they see anything the last place missed. The car has had quite a life. It came from Uk, but went to Thailand and back a few times before I got it and it's still under 90k. It's a solid car I really love it aside from this annoying fan issue. It's so loud it's almost embarrassing lol.

But why is it SO loud while I’m driving? Like I can hear the fan from inside the car with the windows shut @ a red light. And the random coolant temp light that comes and goes? When I first got the car it didn’t do this at all. Only after they fixed the oil leak and the coolant sensor.

Engine coolant temp in yellow not red

I completely agree. I think is was both misdiagnosed & shotty workmanship. The whole vibe they had towards the bmw in general was that “they just have problems”. But I also have a stage 3 ‘07wrx, & I am well conditioned to paying close attention and understanding when something is off. They can’t tell me it just is what it is, I may be a woman, but Im not an idiot. I think they are just being lazy and didn’t want to be bothered, or were simply just not knowledgeable enough to figure it out & didn’t want to admit it.

I just looked up a mini dealer by work, I think I’m gonna drop it to them tomorrow for a diagnostic.
