Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR AT 20 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DID NOT NOTE ANY PROBLEMS. WE THEN DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE MINI DEALERSHIP NEARBY AND THEY SAID THE HEAD GASKET SEAL WAS BROKEN A LEAKING OIL. ALSO THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN AND BELT TENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE LOOSE. NO REPAIRS WERE EVER PERFORMED ON THESE PARTS. IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS BUILD UP IN THE OIL LINES TO THE TURBO CAUSING IT TO SEIZE UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COSTS WERE $3,000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *TR
