Mini One diesel engine issue

My 2010 Mini One diesel is exhibiting reduced power, rough running, and stalling at idle. There's also a jerking sensation during acceleration. Diagnostics suggest a mixture preparation error, potentially from a defective injection valve or injector. Has anyone encountered something similar? Could this affect the catalytic converter?

Reduced engine power, rough running, and stalling? Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Mini, though it wasn't diesel. Did the check engine light come on? Have you checked the spark plugs? Could be a fuel injection problem, maybe a bad sensor messing with the air-fuel ratio. Has the car been jerking when you accelerate?

Indeed, the check engine light illuminated, and the symptoms you describe mirror my experience. When you encountered this issue, was the problem also related to the fuel injection system? Did you replace the injection valve?

Yep, sounds like the same problem. I didn't replace the injector myself; I'm not that confident with fuel injection systems. I took it to a workshop, and they sorted it out. It's best to get it checked properly because running it like that can't be good for the engine. Plus, you don't want to risk damaging the catalytic converter.

I appreciate the insights. I took my Mini One to a workshop, and they confirmed a defective fuel injector. The replacement and labor cost 515€. The issue is resolved, and the engine runs smoothly. They also inspected the catalytic converter and confirmed that it was not damaged.
