Mini Cooper Engine Trouble

The symptoms you describe increased fuel economy, engine stalling, check engine light, and smoke do point towards a potential MAF sensor issue. Has the check engine light given you any specific error codes? A scan tool can usually pinpoint the problem. The air-fuel ratio is critical for the engine's optimal operation. A defective MAF sensor will skew this ratio, leading to the problems you are experiencing. I encountered similar issues with my Mini Cooper.

Thank you for your insights. I do not have access to a scan tool myself. Could you elaborate on the air-fuel ratio and how the MAF sensor influences it? Is there any way to test the MAF sensor without specialized equipment?

The air-fuel ratio is the proportion of air to fuel that your engine burns. The MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. This data is crucial for the engine control unit (ECU) to calculate the correct amount of fuel to inject. If the MAF sensor provides inaccurate readings due to sensor failure, the ECU will inject either too much or too little fuel, leading to the issues you are experiencing. Considering you lack specialized tools, I suggest consulting a workshop.

Thank you for the information and confirmation. I took the Mini to a trusted workshop, and they confirmed the MAF sensor was indeed defective. The repair, including the new sensor, cost 365€. Hopefully, this resolves the issues with fuel consumption and performance.
