Hi guys, our clubman has been acting up recently, slight rattle now and then at low RPM's more noticeble when cold and also throwing cam position timing fault codes now and then.
After a bit of diagnosis I believe its suffering from the timing chain tensioner issue that some others seem to have suffered from. I do also know that this issue can actually lead to engine failure if not addressed.
Was this ever a recall by MINI uk ? The car is out of warranty now but has only covered 38,000 miles.
I need to sort this out ASAP so any information would be appreciated, if its not covered under a MINI recall can you provide me a price to have the chain, chain guides and tensioner replaced before I price up the parts to do it myself ?
Cheers in advance !
