Adaption CVT
CVT adaption BMW Mini:
After repair or replacement of valve body, adaption
of the CVT is highly recommended.
Before adaption run, the adaption should be
reseted with a scanner. (for example: Snap-on
or with the original BMW-equiment.)
For the adaption of a CVT transmission the
following steps should be followed as stated in
the next sheets. The clutch adaption can also be
done separately.

Adaption (Clutch)
For the following steps the brake should be used.
1. Start with cold engine. With an increased
stationary rpm shift in P during 10 seconds and
during 10 seconds in D. The display shows XP
in P position.
2. Repeat the following steps 10 times.
a. Shift in N for 3 seconds
b. Shift in D for 3 seconds
The display shows XP in P position.

Adaption (Clutch)
3. Repeat the following steps 10 times.
a. Shift in N for 3 seconds
b. Shift in R for 3 seconds
c. The display shows XP in P position

Adaption (Ratio)
1. Let the car accelerate to > 85 km/h. Release
the throttle pedal and let the car rol out to a
stop. The transmission will adapt from 4500,
4000, >., 1500 and 1400 rpm. The display
shows P in P position.
2. The engine is now on working temperature.
The stationary rpm is 800/min. Repeat step 2
and 3 from the clutch adaption.
3. Turn the carkey in position 0.

Adaption CVT
ATTENTION
Wait for at least 10 minutes before
disconnecting the battery.
The battery should be disconnected for
minimum 2 minutes!

Problems

Hard shift N-D

Eratic shift between 80 110 kph.
No upshift
No downshift
This kind of problems could be also solved
by adaption.
