TAKE A LISTEN ! This is the sound of a 2009 Mini Cooper S that has a failing Timing Chain System . If this chain , tensioner , or guides fail , this engine will 99% likely have catastrophic engine failure . IF you have this noise when starting cold or at any point really ... , stop driving and get it to the shop. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MINI FOR THIS SYSTEM . Contact your local Mini Dealer . Here at PSK PERFORMANCE , we want to do right by our customers so we contacted the local dealer with this customers VIN and found out it was eligible for a warrantied repair . She was grateful will most certainly be back for any other services !
