    You want help from them but then you malign them in the title of your thread?

    Good luck with you repairs, hope they turn out OK.

    I'd venture to say that something is not tight from the aux water pump fix. Possible it was not bled properly too.

    I hate that when you call someone that just worked on something cause something is going wrong afterwards the first thing they do is deny culpability.

    Yes as soon as i called the dealership i was told " It is imposible it was us who messed it up" they charged me 300.00 deductible for a new valve cover they said it had a crack on the diaphram (what ever the hell that means) the other work that was all recal, and for the 5th time my sunroof sticks and doesnt want to open they have fixed it 5 times. my MCS has been to the dealer more than what i have owned it and it only has 71k miles

    You are not at all far from Sneed's Speed Shop, a Motoring Alliance Sponsor, that knows their way around a MINI real well.

    Might be worth a trip over to chat with Chris and his well trained staff to see if they can help out.

    Besides...whats not to like about a shop that tests their parts with a 12 Gauge!

    276 deg F.... *****! Are you positive! That's like 50 degrees above the highest fan setpoint!

    Something is jacked up. I hope your engine is OK after that :cryin:
