What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mini cooper. While driving, a burning odor entered the vehicle through the air vents and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine light sensor and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. In addition, a leak was found in the oil hose. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees.
Mini cooper 2011 overheated and blew off radiator hoses while driving on fwy- engine damage and head replacement.. Dealer is saying bottom radiator hose must have come off and leaked coolant. Just had it serviced.
