Mini Cooper Countryman owners have reported 4 problems related to water pump (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Water pump leaking coolant. Recalled according to BMW website. Called Mini mall of GA no one would help or call me back around thanksgiving. Scheduled appt today for repairs my husband drove my Mini to the dealership they wouldn't do anything said there was no recall on my VIN number and the water pump warranty expired Dec 11 2018. . . . . . How convenient. My 2012 only has 55,000 miles on it !!!!!! the service dept at Mini mall of GA is a joke they would not even look at the paperwork my husband had or listen to what we were trying to say. It was like speaking to robots that kept repeating themselves. I need this fixed and do not have the 800. 00 they are asking for.

The water pump in the car failed without warning or check engine light coming on, causing immediate overheating and the head gasket on the engine to blow. Mini refused to fix the car, as they said it was out of warranty, despite the faulty water pump being the cause of the overheating.
Confirmed with mechanic faulty electric auxiliary water pump, however, my VIN is not listed in this exact issue that is being recalled.
My 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman with 30,000 miles is requiring replacement of the thermostat and water pump - both of which were recalled and replaced on the 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman. There are not any parts in the united states currently to fix the car. We will be without our car for nearly 3 to 4 weeks while we wait for these parts and we have been told not to drive our car on the highway. The dealer said tough luck.
