The high pressure fuel pump had the warranty extended to 10 years or 120000 miles due to federal emissions requirements on all years except the 2010. m01 01 16 [si] july 2016 shows the 2011 and 2012 and a letter from mini shows 2007 -2009. nobody at mini corporate understands why the 2010 was left out, but all agree it is the same pump and i have found thousands of complaints online saying the dealer did not honor the warranty because it was the wrong the year. these pumps fail and the vehicle fails emissions testing. the pump is 1300 dollars plus labor and can only be done at the dealer.
Got the high pressure fuel pump issue, the car will not start and stall and will not keep in ideal until stepping on the gas over 3000 rpm for over 1 mins, it stalled on local street couple times. the dealership said mini cover up to 7 years only.
Just had to have a high pressure fuel pump replaced in my mini cooper s convertible and had . i understand that all the fuel pumps in this year make of car were recalled except the one on the convertible?? please let me know why the fuel pump is any different? it actually went out on an interstate and i had to pull over and was almost struck by a semi truck. i have the bill for the repair which cost me over $1400.00..
Purchased car april 2014 w 46,000 miles. warranty history showed valve gasket replaced. at 64000 miles dealer says it needs to be replaced again. not told at purchase - at mini dlr - that car consumes a quart of oil every 700 miles which i was just told by local servicing dealer that they consider that normal. leak at gasket contributes to air infiltration and poor oil consumption i was told. i would not have purchased the car knowing this. it adds considerably to the operating costs. after telling servicing dlr this weekend that i knew the car had already had valve cover gasket replaced, he said he would cover 75% of over $800 cost. he obviously knew that it didn't or shouldn't need that work so soon after being done. the mini dealers are thieves and withhold vital information. the strut mount apparently is also "domed" which speaks to structural integrity of this car. i would never recommend a mini to anyone and feel their practices are completely unethical and the build quality is substandard to what is considered normal. who needs to have the valve cover gaskets replaced twice in under 65,000 miles? who has to go and buy oil every month and a half? the last car i owned that needed that was a 20 year old 1975 pontiac with over 100k. miles. garbage.
