If your Cooper has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Is it possible to reset the Cooper malfunction warning light on my own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Cooper, but it's important to resist the urge.

Is my Cooper’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2007 Mini Cooper

Your Cooper drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Cooper and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2007 Mini Cooper to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mini's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mini Cooper Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2007 Mini Cooper drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Mini Cooper may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mini Cooper drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2007 Mini Cooper drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
