… it was once a Mini Cooper engine with 35,000km

… which suddenly made klok-klok-klok. This sound occurred after a curve. Engine warm, about 1km away from the saving home garage. At first I thought “Nana, I hope I put all the screws on when changing tyres?”. In the garage then I could hear that curling then also with standing mini. A call to the FMH resulted in an hour later the service mobile was with me. That confirmed a motor damage. Either a guide rail of the control chain The tow truck driver then typed crankshaft. At the mini dealer or in the workshop one could confirm the defective crankshaft after opening the engine. Engine has to go out – a new one costs 4500 euros plus installation. Swallow. My mini is 4 years and 11 months old, mileage 35,000. According to the service display I had 1200km until the next inspection. According to FMH I should have come regardless of the display every year. My serivce edition etc. is all in the Mini, so I can’t look. Is that so? At least 1 times a year to change oil? I always go if I have received a reminder by letter TÜV or even if the Mini wanted it. Before that came the info from Munich, that on the material 50% kulanz is watered. I would like to note that I am very satisfied with the friendly and very helpful way of working of the mini dealer. When having a call within a few seconds there is a suitable car master on the phone there For example Ford, at least with me, not Torsten.
