Dealer Warranty Work = Car running like ***

HI,

I just had some work done at my (new) local Mini Dealer. Window dipper fix, Service for brake fluid/cabin filter. I had also noticed a weird cluth noise on reverse and down shifting. Come to find out there is a clutch assembly replacement recall. Cool huh?

Well car starts/Idles fine. I have no Turbo/boost?????? Feels like i am running on 3 cylinders I was told the tech had driven it to make sure clutch was working correctly and how this was not noticed??


I can hear a slight noise when stepping on the gas then off. What is disconnected to cause this?? What could have happened?? Back to the dealer in the morning


thanks,
J

Check all your hoses and such...especially the ALTA turbo inlet hose. Sounds like something popped off.

^ +1- Sorry to hear about these troubles. Could be the SA was given a bad bill of goods by the tech so I would not place initial blame on him/her.......guess good help is hard to find even in these times.

Good luck tomorrow !
