Tapping/clatter noise
#26
I have been using only 91 octane and I have found the sound clip. I got it from TLS forum (http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showt...&page=20&pp=40)

You can hear it after 10 sec slightly and between 20 and 25 sec vividly.

just to rule out detonation - any chance you can find some 93 octane?
that seems the simplest explanation
AFAIK the Mini includes a detonation sensor which is essentially a microphone attached to the top of the block - it listens for ping, and the ECU adjusts timing accordingly
mind you I'm an R53 person so I may be missing the point
cheap test though, if you can find the fuel

I emailed that sound clip to MINI service manager and we will see.
russr, If you listen around the time of 20 ~ 25 seconds you can hear lots of the ping from that sound clip. And that is what mine sounds like too.
cmt52663, around hear I cannot find any 93 octane....

spam.at.trash, I'm not sure the service manager will hear anything unusual either. Maybe I'd hear it if I were driving your car? Anyway, I know you can't find 93 in CA, but perhaps you can try a different gas station and see if it goes away.
BTW, is this different from the tapping/clatter noise you described in your original post? I think it is isn't it?

My MCS has passenger's side window problem, so I took it over to the dealer for a quick check (under moderate to high load there is a rapid ticking sound coming from engine, but not terribly loud though) last Thursday.
The tech person ride my MCS by himself and simply I got this "could not duplicate"..... Also service manger said the engine is OK no problem. I heard the sound but they couldn't hear them??? maybe next time I will make an appointment for a schedule service and ride with me to check the sound.
I will post another one for passenger's side auto-up window problem.

Rattle in engine
I'm really worried now guys! My 08 s started with the rattle below 3000 RPM yesterday. Today I went to the dealer and they thought it was a lack of oil, but the rattle persists ALL THE TIME whenever the engine is under 3000RPM. Does anyone know if Mini has a solution yet???
Thanks!
Thanks!
