Performance issue can come up when the oil is not changed enough. This can save hours of labor if you replace them before finding a leak. If your Mini Cooper has over 50,000 miles you should consider replacing the water pump and thermostat. It seems like this issue is also related to not changing the transmission oil/fluid often enough. This is a fairly major repair, but do not ignore it or you could end up with some major problems. This problem can be worse when the engine is idling. The CVT transmissions installed before 2008 should have regular oil changes however the 5 speed automatic transmissions used on most Minis are much more reliable. Changing the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 40,000 miles will save thousands of dollars in repairs. This is a big problem because not changing the transmission fluid will cause it to fail early. Problems with the automatic transmission come down to the manufacturers saying that their transmissions do not need fluid changes. If your power steering pump has to be replaced it is a good idea to check out the cooling fan and other related parts while the vehicle is being services, as access is a considerable cost in these small engine bays.Ģ.
