Fuel Injection Cleaning & Extended Warranty
Hello fellow MINI drivers,
I own at 2008 MINI cooper hardtop. It has been good to me far with 46K miles on it. (I love to drive). I have been putting off the fuel injection cleaning due to the price. Is it worth doing the cleaning?
I also have been told at MINI that it would be best to get the extended warranty on the car to 100K, but costs an arm and a leg. No real problems from the MINI, got new tires for it today.
Thoughts?

Yes, the regular coopers are the most reliable of the lot.
That said, a couple of days ago I went to the car and noticed coolant under the car. The overflow reservoir was empty as well. Took a shot and drove home, 10 minutes a way. Expansion put a little coolant in the overflow tank.
I live 2 hours from the dealer so I called roadside. They put it on a flatbed and hauled it to the dealer. Turned out it was the water pump. Brought it back the next day.
The ticket said they used a remanufactured water pump. Should I be concerned?

I would not be concerned with a re-man water pump. It is covered for the balance of your warranty or 2 years which ever is longer. Lots of warranty parts are re-man.
Sandyway - I would recommend using Chevron Techron in your fuel tank every 5,000 miles or so. It's a very good fuel system cleaner.
