Consumer Description

UPON STARTING MY ENGINE EVERY MORNING THERE IS A LARGE CLATTERING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER AS THE PART DOES NOT GET ENOUGH OIL IN IT AS IT DRAINS OUT AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED OR FIXED THE TIMING CHAIN WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK AND RUIN MY ENGINE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE THAT BMW/MINI REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR FIX. *TR
