New to the site and to mini. I traded in my 2010 camaro 2ss for an 09 clubman jcw. When I was testing it the bov went out. They are sending it to mini to have it fixed. Is that common around 55k miles? Just curious. Like I said, I'm very new to mini. I appreciate the help and I'll be posting a lot when I get it!
Please post pix when you have a chance, and let us know if we can help in any way. We have over 40 years experience with the brand! In the meantime, here's a handy maintenance and service guide that may help you get years of grinning from your JCW!
This may be a dumb question but....is this the same as the waste gate? I went into a reduced power mode-engine slash warning light situation at the track. Dealer pulled an error code about waste gate, said they can go. I'm also at 55K. Welcome, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with the car-and of course pics when you can.
Good luck with the car, in my case I would consider it a warning sign and buy a different car. That maybe my paranoia, you should consider a pre purchase inspection.
I got the car. It was a sensor that was out. Mini inspected it and it looked good besides that. The clutch and brakes are a few months old which is good. I love the car so far and the gas mileage is like night and day.
That's the only photo I have at the moment. It's dirty but I work long hours. I'll post some better ones on Monday!
Did the dealer check the timing belt? Make sure it has been replaced recently with the latest parts. Watch out for any cold start rattling, as that is a sign the timing belt is about to go. Otherwise, enjoy the JCW, they're a blast!
love jcw Clubman's. but arent they supposed to have xenon lights?
Unfortunately no MINI's come standard with xenon's, halogens are standard equipment and Xenon's are an extra $500 (I think). For the top tier trim, you'd think they'd throw in some extra goodies like that standard.
