Hi all .. Just bought my mini and posted in the 1st gear forum a few days ago ..

Been driving it like mad and have noticed a couple of noises I didn't hear at first was wondering if you all could possibly point me in the right area ?


First :

When at a slow roll I hear a pulsing wearing type noise coming from what seems to be the back wheel area. (thinking warped rotor?)

Second

Sometimes but not always when driving on the freeway and taking a slight right turn I hear a rapid knocking coming from the passanger front wheel area. but only for a few seconds not on every turn and if I move the wheel even teh slightest bit it stops ( I have no idea on this on)

Well if anyone can help it would be much appreciated .. I have it going to Mini of San Antonio tomorrow .. I would just like to have some kind of idea before they charge me a ton of money :(



EDIT : its an 04 with 34,200....

 

No clue on the problems but say hi to my car for me! It just arrived at the dealer and I will not pick it up for a week or two. DS w/black roof and stripes

 

They should charge you.......nothing at all! Seems to me, since the car is new, that the nice MINI warranty will easily cover all this. Let them figure it out, document any problems/issues, and fix it right. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it....they'll sort it out. I've been very impressed w/ how MINI handles warranty issues.
