Why did the yellow check engine light come on in my Mini Cooper?
Years 2007-2014

Answer

If the yellow engine failure warning light comes on on the dashboard of our Mini Cooper R56, it means that a fault has been detected in the fuel system, exhaust or in the engine itself. It is therefore a rather generic signal and it could also be a false alarm. If in doubt, we can always carry out a check at our reference workshop.
