Can Mini service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Mini drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mini Cooper? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Mini Cooper differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Cooper?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Cooper can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Cooper's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Cooper.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Cooper?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Cooper. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Cooper.

Does my Cooper drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Cooper. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2022 Mini Cooper Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Cooper's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Cooper’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2022 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.

When to Get Mini Cooper Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2022 Mini Cooper drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. 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. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mini Cooper.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2022 Mini Cooper? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
