Mini Countryman engine issues

So my 2023 Mini Countryman is giving me grief. Engine won't start sometimes, stalls at idle, and the check engine light is on. Getting rough running and feels like it's guzzling more gas than usual. Could a defective fuel pump cause all this?

Sounds similar to a problem I had with my Countryman. Started with the engine stalling at idle and the check engine light coming on intermittently. Definitely check the fuel system. Have you had any luck pulling the error codes?

Error codes pointed towards fuel delivery issues, specifically the fuel pump. You reckon it could be something simple like a loose connection, or am I looking at a new fuel pump?

Yep, fuel pump was the culprit for me too. The error codes can be misleading. Before shelling out for a new pump, get the wiring and connectors checked. A bad connection can cause all those symptoms. Take it to a workshop to be sure!

Just wanted to update you you were spot on! Took it in, and it turned out to be a dodgy connector on the fuel pump. 95€ and she's purring again. Cheers for the help!
