Hi, I was planing on buying a MCS in a about two months but after following the yo-yo chronicles in this forum I am begining to think it would be a bad idea.

Does everyone with a MCS have this problem or are my chances of ordering a MCS and getting a dud low to none.

Thanks for any responses

Mine had it, I disconnected the bypass valve and it's gone.

 

My brother-in-law and I got almost twin MCSs, built in January a week apart.

Apparently, his has it, and mine doesn't. He drove mine to try to find it, but couldn't.

I reassured him that with all this negative Yo Yo attention from Ryephile and crew, he should expect to see a fix by the time he hits his first or second service interval. Let's hope I'm right.

 

NO, not all '04 MCS's have the Yo-Yo. I've driven several '04's the are 100% Yo-Yo free. Why the unpredictability? I can only guess that production tolerances aren't up to suitable standards.


[MINIDivision; don't even think about it]

 

I have a 04 without the infamous yo-yo. :smile:

 

Mine doesn't have it either. '04 MCS with 5,900 troublefree miles.

 

mine had it when I first bought the car, but later found out it was more or less
how I engaged 2nd gear and how I controlled the accelerator....so changed my
timing a little bit on the gas and clutch and don't have it anymore. :smile:

Im on pre-v36.

 

Does anybody have a stupid question??

 

Your respones have help me make up my mind and go ahead and order my MCS
Thanks to everyone who responded.

congrats. What color did you decide on?

 

Bear in mind that it's also a matter of degree. My 04 MCS has a very slight yo-yo, so slight that I haven't bothered trying a fix. It's only really prevalent in 2nd gear at 3000 rpm when the motor's cold.

So, you could get zero yo-yo, a little, or a lot. Just make sure that you drive your car before you buy it, in case you draw the severe yo-yo card.
