Just checking in on this issue. Anyone affected?

 

i had the full engine power not available issue, and could not get the car above 20mph. happened twice on the days where it was ridiculously cold. droppin it off to morristown mini next week,

 

I haven' had any cold weather issues except the *#@#& windshield washer hose freezing up.

 

i have a verry destinct deisel noise but a few times when it was cold as ***** my car bogged out alot.

 

had the same thing happened once when it was zero degrees. But haven't had the problem reoccur on cold days. Do they say what usually causes it?

 

It happened to me on January 16 when the temperature high was 12 degrees. I drove to work and every thing was fine but that evening when I was going home the engine light went on. There was no power and I could not go over 25 MPH. I shut the car off and restarted it and it was like the problem never happened. That was the only time for me. There seems to be no cure so I have not taken the car to the dealership. I just got my Mini S in December so I am a little on guard but again it has not done it again.

 

I have an 04 MCS, the car sits in the airport everynight of the week, I have yet to have any noise and or problem starting it in the morning when I leave to come home

 

This has not happened to me.

 

Nah,

Both cars starts up fine. I just can't get up certain mornings

 

My clutch squeeks for 5 or 10 mins on cold mornings.....thats the only problem I have noticed.

 

I have an 08 MCSm now and I get an almost hollow rattling type noise on some cold mornings for a few minutes... is that what you are talking about?

 

Clown did this a few times earlier in the winter but he cleared right up. Also I don't drive him when its snowing out either so I'm sure that helps.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to clarify some things. First of all this only affects the R56 (2007+) Cooper S models with manual transmission. It also affects the Clubman S and possibly the new convertible S with manual trans.
