Drivetrain Malfunction…sometimes
2016 Cooper S. Last Sunday, no problems, no issues. Got a new battery in November, replaced my ignition coils last May, spark plugs August 2023. 203,500kms Last Sunday evening, I start my car, drivetrain malfunction thing on the center dash comes up, engine light comes on. Greaaaaaaat. I get out of my car, lock it, unlock, get back in start it, no misfiring or knocking anymore, engine light is off, drivetrain malfunction is gone. Uhhh ok? I get back out, lock the car, my car alarm starts to go off. Greaaaaaaaat. I come back to the car like 2 hours later, go for a long drive, lock the car, no more car alarm. Ok, amazing. No problems all week. 30 minutes ago, everything I just described, happened again. What do I do? 😅 what could it be? I have a little cheap wireless scanner and the photo is what came up. I’ve read a similar post on here that it could be fuel injector starting to go, timing belt, anything else? Appreciate the feedback!
