This sounds very alarming, I don’t have the noise yet. We may have to get invasive and remove your front timing cover to expose what kind of damage the timing chain may have caused. We recommend having us inspect and examine your Mini Cooper to prescribe the best course of action. If your Mini Cooper is experiencing the timing chain noise, the best thing to do is to stop driving and give us a call. My Mini Cooper Engine has a metallic clacking noise. If the chain has failed it can cause engine failure. Signs of this problem are the dreaded “timing chain noise” which can sound like a metallic clacking from the engine. The problem originates when the timing chain tensioner itself fails which causes slack in the chain and/or the chain falling off or failing. Luckily enough Mini Cooper owners made enough noise to where Mini Cooper acknowledges the problem and will service owners up to 50,000 miles. Unfortunately, a number of 2007 – 2011 Mini Coopers started seeing timing chain failures at around 30,000 to 50,000 miles. BMW claims timing chains are lifetime parts and do not need servicing. However, an inherent design flaw happens with the timing chain and the tensioner. Can you explain what is the problem with the Mini Cooper timing chain?īMW who is the parent company of Mini Cooper without a doubt makes amazing cars.
