How to keep track of the maintenance status of our Mini

Model: Mini Mini F66 - Years 2023-2026
Part: Onboard computer

Let's see how to monitor the maintenance status of our Mini from the on-board computer: from the multimedia screen we select "vehicle info" and then click on "status" or "maintenance" and enter the control function. Here we find the mileage deadlines, that is, the kilometers remaining until the next service; the time deadlines for the next inspection. If the indicator is green, then Ok, everything is in order. Also, to check the fluid levels, I can rely on the sensors that will indicate the engine oil level, brake fluid status, windshield washer fluid level, and coolant level. If the light is green everything is fine and the levels are normal. If it is yellow the next deadline is approaching and checking is recommended. Red: the deadline has passed and/or the fluid levels are critical or a fault is detected. With the same system, we also check the battery status, brake wear, tire pressure, and inspection deadlines. With this system, we cannot check the power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and brake fluid separately.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
