Engine Anomaly

We had the water pump recall work done about 2 weeks ago and the rear brakes replaced. The car has run perfectly. Today we got an engine light. All fluids are fine and the gas cap is tight. It's going into the dealer tomorrow.

I'll report back the findings.

Could be a sensor connection or something minor. Please us in in on what turned the light on.

I'm still waiting for MINI of Charleston to send out something on the recall. I called them when the recall was announced and was told that they didn't have the part and would be sending out letters.... Sigh....
