Hello dear ones, my Mini One R56, year 2007 with 85,000km and 70kw/95ps worries me for a few days. I’ve had the car since August and it runs smoothly – only for a few days now it has the problem that the engine in idle sounds a bit funny, like a clacking / ticking / ticking, hard to describe. You can hear the sound even if no other car is standing next to, in front of or behind you, like e.g. at a traffic light and when the window is open. From the inside the engine sounds good, you have to listen very carefully and the sound can only be heard when the car is standing. During the ride or when you give gas the engine sounds inconspicuous and as you expect it, the car also has no abnormalities in the driving behaviour. No jerking, no power loss, everything as usual.. I then checked the oil level and that was frighteningly low, so that I had to pour back 1-1,5l, now everything is back in order. The last time was 4-5 weeks ago and there was the oil level in order.. To my driving behaviour: I drive as a commuter daily 2x 30km, 80% highway and occasionally times in the evening or on weekends sometimes also short distances for shopping etc.. I drive the car occasionally times a bit more sporty but all in all I do not really kick it but rather relax. I have a little bit more relaxed on Tuesday. Date with the friendly, who wants to check first if the car loses oil (which I don’t think, because inside everything is clean, also the floor is always spot-free) and what could cause the noise. Besides, I also caught a decent stone stroke with my luck, he can also take care of himself immediately. Anyway, the noise doesn’t give me rest and I wanted to hear your opinions and ideas about what this could be, so that he doesn’t tell me anything about the horse. d Starts to exchange parts after the other. I tried to capture the sound and did a video of it (was already dark). I once “flowed” with the mobile phone counterclockwise over the engine block, you hear the sound very well on it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2acryEGIn0 I hope you have some ideas – I’m curious!
