Four problems related to engine and engine cooling have been reported for the 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I purchased a 2008 clubman and it's the non-turbo but the engine has an issue with multiple misfire codes being sent out to the obd2 reader as well as some ecu codes that imply weak fuel pressure and when looking up and trying to find how to replace the fuel pressure pump then I realized I was not alone in this issue and wonder if anyone else has had the thought to actually file a complaint so that that way something can be done since it's a very faulty thing and most of these have had issues from 30000 miles about but then for all the others that also have it after the warranty drops to intentionally put in a faulty part I'm not sure if it's illegal or not but it should be. I do no that if they put in enough faulty parts there should be a recall made if it is determined that they are at fault and not the people buying them or mistreating or not maintaining etc etc. . . I strongly urge anyone else that's had this issue to also make your own complaint if it has happened to you, especially if you had to buy a new car because of it.
I was driving down the highway, and there was no exceleration of my car, the valves were clattering and had no power.
Timing chain guide is made out of plastic. It broke apart and fell in pieces into the oil pan. It caused the engine to seize and the vehicle was completely inoperable.
Playing golf, car is in parking lot. Engine catches fire, destroyed front half of car, engine fell on pavement .
