The 1.4-liter Mini One D W17D14 diesel engine was assembled by the company between 2003 and 2006, and in its original One modification, it was only installed on the three-door Hatch in the R50 body. A version with 75 horsepower was manufactured between 2003 and 2005 before the engine’s power was increased to 88 horsepower. These vehicles are replicas of the Toyota 1ND-TV diesel.
W17D14, W16D16, N47C16A, N47C20A, B37C15A, and B47C20A are MINI diesel engines.

Disadvantages of the Mini W17D14 engine
The engine’s primary issues are related to fuel-demanding piezo injectors.
Because of the occurrence of oil scraper rings, lubricant consumption comes in second.
Additionally, clogged crankcase ventilation frequently causes oil to seep through all of the seals.
Periodically, the fuel pressure regulator fails and the injection pump leaks.
Even now, when the glow plugs are unscrewed, they frequently burrow and break off.
