The fault code 2F42 indicates a problem with the Engine Ventilation Heating System in your car. This issue means that the thermostat is not communicating properly with the vehicle's CPU. If this occurs, the car will be unable to regulate itself, leading to incorrect coolant usage and potentially causing overheating. While an overheated car is not immediately fatal, it can cause damage to the head gasket, resulting in eventual failure. The more damaged the head gasket becomes, the faster the car will overheat. Repairing this problem can cost thousands of dollars, so it is advisable to promptly address the thermostat issue, which is a relatively inexpensive fix compared to the potential consequences.

Certainly! Can you provide more details about the malfunctioning heating element in question? It seems like I am experiencing a similar problem with my daughter's 2011 Mini.

I encountered an issue with my daughter's 2011 Mini Cooper and discovered that a small heating element had burnt out. I replaced the crankcase vent tube with a new heater, and that fixed the problem. You're welcome! 😊
