Baddd engine noise...please listen and help!!
FYI...this is not another cold start or timing chain thread.
I had my timing chain replaced about a month ago. My car did lose some oil while it was messed up. It was fixed and got a clean bill of health from Mini.
Now a couple times I started my car and it had a very rough idle for a moment or two....then it got worse. I've had a few times now where I start the car and it sounds like it's misfiring and throttle inputs don't do much. If I were to floor it it would only go to around 1,500 before coming back down to the rough idle of 500rpm or so....even while I'm still on the gas.
I recorded what the car sounds like at first from the engine bay....then towards the end of the clip you can hear how it's coming out of the exhaust. My dealer called to tell me it's just the basic noise that everyone's dealing with but I said sorry it's not. I reminded them that I had no throttle input and it was sounding nuts out the exhaust...so clearly not a rattle in the engine.
I've attached a link to the sound clip.
Any ideas my friends?
