Mini Clubman Engine Issues

My 2010 Mini Clubman is exhibiting some concerning behavior. The engine is running unevenly, accompanied by a check engine light and noticeable jerking during acceleration. The error memory has been populated. Any thoughts on what might be the culprit?

Uneven running and jerking? Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Clubman. Have you checked the air filter and spark plugs? Also, a faulty crankshaft sensor can cause similar problems. It's like a bad conductor in an orchestra, throwing everything off.

Interesting. You mentioned the crankshaft sensor. Were you experiencing similar error codes and check engine light? I've also heard ignition coil or even fuel injectors issues can cause similar symptoms. How did you pinpoint the sensor?

Yes, I had the check engine light and error codes. I didn't pinpoint it myself, to be honest. After checking the basics, I took it to a workshop. Given your symptoms, especially the error code, a leak in the exhaust system is a strong possibility. It might be best to get it checked professionally.

Appreciate the insight. Turns out you were spot on. Took it to the workshop, and they found a leak in the exhaust system. Repair cost me 265€. Running smoothly now.
