Thanks for asking. On many ( not all ) car manufacturers this feature prematurely wears out components in the long run. Engine starts are amongst the most abrasive types of wear on engines, even at operating temperature. Manufacturers take this into consideration by beefing up some of the directly affected components like the starter motor. Once things are in motion they like to stay in motion. Thousands of abrupt start-stops on anything mechanical causes extra stress and wear. In my opinion the cost savings in fuel isn't worth it. The two most common things we see compromised are the engine mounts and vehicle battery. Uncommon but not rare is timing chain stretch issues. If you driving situation finds you idle for long periods of time then this feature may be beneficial. And like the video says, if the car is newer and you don't plan on keeping it then who cares ) .

I got oil leaking down there. Cleaned checked c Bacl but not bad im thinking oil filter gasket
@MikeMDs

You are probably correct. Either the oil filter cap o-ring or the oil filter housing gasket. If you replace the oil filter housing gasket on this engine it is a good idea to also replace the oil feed line to the housing

For those that do not have the handle to pull the door off, remove the T20 screw on the lower panel. Use a pick took to disconnect the floor lighting. Comes off easy. Then take the two T20 screws from either side of the cover near the airbag cover. Then using a pick, disconnect the fan and set aside. Flip open the cabin air filter door and then take the cabin filter door off by lifting up on the hinge door and it will slide out of its housing. This makes it way easier to remove (top then bottom), then install (bottom then top). Airflow goes from front of the car to the rear (or to your left if you're looking at the air filter housing). This is where a Brit engineer is getting revenge on the Germans for taking their brand and making it better! Only problem, it's huge pain in the rear doing this yourself!! Way harder than it should have been!!

Thanks for sharing your time and expertise! Very well done. I noticed oil pooling around cylinder #4 when replacing my plugs and coils so this video will be a godsend. Thank you. One question. Im having my oil pan replaced with an aluminum one because i noticed an aggressive oil leak under the car. I assumed, without inspecting the pan with the covering underneath blocking visibility, that so much oil had to be from a more aggressive leak than what i saw up top. But during operating pressure, could that valve seal leak actually be expelling the entire oil leak issue? If so i imagined i would see more oil pooled around the injector/coil area and not just the small pool that was there. Also, theres no oil burning odor or smoke. Any thoughts? And thanks again!
@MikeMDs
@MikeMDs 14 күн бұрын
The valve cover leaks at the back corner too. And the vacuum pump can leak at that back corner. But both will cause burning smell due to leaking onto the exhaust manifold. So you are likely correct about the oil pan leaking. They are notorious to leak on this engine.

Thank you, awesome video. failing to periodically, remove and inspect all fluid levels on ANY car and solely relying on sensors. Is tantamount, to waiting for a toothache to decide you need to see a dentist. There has never been a time, that I can recall . When I have driven my 2014 Mini cooper S convertible Roadster, 6 speed and it is in Mint condition. 54, 000 miles. That it has Not,drawn compliments. Everywhere I go. Guaranteed... Always, someone is asking to buy it. Yes, some envious, will say, it is a "Chick car". However, I am a glass half full kinda guy. I prefer, to refer to it as, a "Babe magnet". I know without a doubt. I can name my price. Knowing, this car is worth. What someone is willing to pay for it. This is from experience. People have offered me money on the spot. Including one guy who offered me his truck and $10, 000 as he stated . "I have, to have this car". However, I have a Lincoln MKZ, Silverado truck and my Mini. (No more Motorcycles, I do not heal so quickly anymore.) I Love my mini, it is so much fun to drive. I can sell it. No doubt. But everything else out there, Is just a Car. This is so much fun, The compliments are amazing .To some, This car,is a Rock Star and you can be certain, There is , NO Bovine Excrement here. Semper FI

Water pump sounds bad. Also a faulty heater/water valve can cause no heater. But if the issues happened at the same time then it is probably a bad pump.
