I asked the SA just for piece of mind to check the timing chain slack and give me the measurement for which they did, 66.42mm. The SA knew before hand either way I was going to get a new updated tensioner because the original tensioner was starting to show signs of not fully tensioning the timing chain with a slight baby rattle that really wasn't that loud. My engine runs so damn smooth and has a lot of power that I have gotten remarks about how smooth it runs from my body shop, they claim that my Mini is smoother than any Mini they have driven. Your right though if they had just done what I asked of them (measure slack, install updated tensioner) I wouldn't be here complaining and I would be happy with my Mini Dealers work, but they got greedy and wanted to milk me for more money. They didn't adjust the cam timing correctly the first time.Ĭlick to expand.2007 Mini Cooper S R56 60,000 miles It's only been 2 years, how does that seem like over time? I'd by it if I drove 50,000 miles, but the cam timing shouldn't be off at all only after 10,000 miles. Irvine Mini doesn't stand behind their work even with a warranty. I don't believe they ever adjusted the static camshaft timing correctly when they installed the first time. It's pretty clear he didn't know what he was talking about he knew I know which is why he walked away, I'd be embarrassed if I was him. I asked the SA again how he could claim my chain was stretch if he didn't know what a new chain would measure, he turned and walked away from me ignoring me completely. I asked him if my chain was stretched of course he said yes, then I asked him how he knew that and asked him what the chain slack would be on a brand new timing chain, the tech told the SA that they never ever bothered to check the slack on a new chain. ![]() When I asked my SA why they won't cover it under warranty he stated, "it happens over time as the timing chain stretches. I already filed a complaint against them through BAR. ![]() ![]() I did call Mini USA to complain, they said they stand behind the Mini dealers tech, dead-end. If the BAR complaint doesn't yield any resolution I'll file small claims against they, I could also speak to the owner and see if we can't come to an agreement, or I'll tell him I ready to file small claims.
