Does the extended warranty of seven years or 100,000 miles for the timing chain and timing-chain tensioner begin at the time of repair or total mileage. Example I had my chain replaced when the car was 6 years old at 48,000 miles. I wonder if we will be getting a letter in the mail like we did about the extended warranty on the HPFP.

Thanks for the link.

 

I bought the car 1 month after the recall came out so i had no idea if it was replaced or got a letter from mini. I bought it at 56,000 miles now it is at 104,000

 

Never did the TSB ?

 

tsb?

 

thanks, i never knew there was a lawsuit about the entite thing.

 

Technical service bulletin for the campaign to check and change the tensioner.

 

i have never heard of it, Mini will be fixing it today so i am grateful

 

Bad news, its 7500$ rebuild of the engine. Good news, im not paying.

 

Thats the best news, when you have it covered. Let us know how long , giving you a loaner F56 ?

 

I didn't get a loner car, i didnt find it nessasery. The MINI is going to be there for a couple of weeks :'(

 

Hope its ok, I would have asked for a loner so at least be driving a MINI for a while. I had body work done once for the rust issue, and other things. Know about being without a MINI for a month. But got a MINI loaner, so all is well.

 

nice, i want her back already.

 

I got a loner F56 Mini and i must say i miss my R56, the F56 feels more like a BMW then a MINI. The car is just not to my likening but i must say that it pulls hard.

 

It does have a much softer ride then the R52 , but the auto transmission i feel is much better.

 

The ride is sublime, i still prefer my stick.
