“My 2009 Mini Cooper S made rattle noise and the whole timing chain got replaced plus the thermostat house and water pump! The engine light still keeps on after trouble-shooting by my mechanics, which might be the computer issue which has to be figured out soon! The timing chain issue should be under fully-covered by manufacturer since too many Mini cooper owner have the same problem and paid thousand of dollars to fix it! My Mini is only about 55k miles and already has timing chain issue!”
