2nd Gen R56 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: R56 HPFP Prices....Holy crap Batman

Ahaa, that's what a hupfup looks like!

 

No that's a Gen 1 tensioner that is made of solid gold. At least that what MINI parts thinks by changing so much. :ihih::lol:

 

I bought my tensioner from the Amazonian's & saved a bunch.

 

The years that were covered to my understanding was from 07-09, they were not covering 10+ models.

The pumps are different between the N14 and N18, but the pump from 07-11 was the same pump for the N14, why they aren't covering 10's is a mystery.

I would assume the price hike is due to trying to recoup some of the money they've lost on this whole HPFP fiasco, and not to mention the 30+ million dollar lawsuit over the timing chains going on right now. Monopoly at its finest.

 

yup...

My 2007 is currently in the shop (not a dealership). It's looking like it's the HPFP. If so, it will be her second one. It was originally replaced in May 2011 at 55k, under warranty. She's now at 128k. Is there any chance of MINI covering a second one?

 

It's 10 years/120k. I know I'm over 120k, but the 2nd HPFP is well under the 120k.

 

I've gotta say, this is one of the biggest price hikes I've seen in the car parts arena.

 

If that's the case....lame

 

Here is another price shocker from Jan 1st this year-the replacement N14 engine which has been 4300ish for years is now 7199.00-we are back to repairing them instead of plugging in a new one with 2 yr warranty. But with the price escalation in the HPFP I see more and more N14 cars going away as people trade them in on hondas, etc

 

Oooo, What is it!?
