Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S(R56), and Cabrio (R57).
So story of the week I have a 2008 Mini cooper S turbo charged replaced turbo and rebuilt cylinder heads with new head gasket and new piston rings to low and behold white smoke still at idle after 5 min and getting CEL P0300 through P0304 still any help
Did you replace the valve cover, or just the gasket? There are internal passages to the cover that could still be clogged.... Smoke after long idle is usually PCV related.
