Hi All New To Mini. Just picked up a pre-owned 2015 s hatch and below 45 degrees it seems to make a knocking sound that seems to be coming from strut tower mounts. When the temp is above 45 there is no sound. I had a similar issue in my Abarth and it did turn out to be strut mounts. I tried the search function on this forum only to be disappointed. If anyone can point me in the right direction let me know. Thanks in advance.

 

I use Google to search here, by adding the expression "site:northamericanmotoring.com" to the other search terms.

Here is what I found using that approach.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Control arms were done on mine. Known issue as I recall.
