1st Gen R53 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: RMW Coolant Tank Touches Ignition Wires

I have the same tank and my wires going into the coil do not hit. I agree with everyone else that your motor mounts are failing causing you motor to move to much.

These work great and will last a looooooong time versus the crap OEM mounts.


*Note* They are not cheap.

Pretty confident your motor mounts are shot. Mine is close, but not close enough to hit, unless the motor was rocking considerably.

 

Thats pretty lame that you put up a thread about a problem you are having rather than going directly to the vendor you got it from.
I know it would frustrate me if i was in Jans position, I cant speak directly for him but i know he would rather solve your problem than have you post this on a forum.
I know thats not what you would mean it as but some people would read it as you dont want to deal with him.
That said, I do think your mounts are shot, And i do have the parts you need in stock.

 

Why not? Why such an assumption that you'll just be blown off? I honestly think Jan wants to know that you're having this issue.

 

Never dealt with RMW myself, but from everything I've heard about Jan, he would be willing to work with you.

 

Every M/A site sponsor that I have I have dealt with wanted to make sure the customer received what they paid for. I have never worked with Jan but from all the posts I have read here, you would be making a mistake not to.
