Power Steering Warranty Extension

Post by ragtopday Johnna »

Anyone else get the letter regarding warranty extension on Power Steering? Looks like I might recoup enough $ from that repair to pay to get my glove box opened. :lol:

Boxer--had you already replaced yours? I had mine done quite awhile back at KC Autosport. I'm fairly certain the receipt for the work is in my owner's manual folder in the glove box, the one I can't get open. :roll:

My niece had her P/S pump replaced at KC Autosport too. They emailed a copy of her invoice to her. :D

What years are covered in the recall? My MINI finally hit 32,000 miles, will I need to worry about this failing soon?

I got my letter a couple days ago.

Its for certain model years 2002-2005 MC and MCS and 2005 MINI Cooper Convertible Base and S model.
I was told this is for the cars that production dates up to February 2005. I'm not sure.
I don't think we got a letter for my sister's 05 MCS

My P/S unit and fan were replaced about a year after purchasing the car. My flywheel was also replace on the same visit. I think it was in 2004.

Do you guys know if this would cover the PS hoses too? Baron said I need to replace them on my 02 MCS.

I doubt it, I'll bet the hoses are considered a wear and tear item, the pump isn't (supposed to be)....

I had my hoses replaced when the cooling fan stopped working. They said had I not replaced the cooling fan, the pump would have failed. Don't think I have a warranty with mine though.

Hey all. You might want to call 866-275-6464 to hear the message about this issue. I hear it everytime I call to get the production status on my new MINI :D

The recording says you can either file for reimbursement by mailing copies of applicable receipts to them or by going to your local dealer. Once they have validated the receipts, a check will be sent in 4 to 6 weeks.

This means mid-July, I'll be RICH! :lol:

MINIDave refurbished mine about 50k miles ago, I think even then I would have been out of the extended p/s pump warranty. Just this week it has started to get weak, I suppose I'm still hosed on this one. I see a new pump in my future.

Did anyone else ever recoup any $ from this? Yesterday I got a $1k check in the mail. I figured I wasn't going to get any reimbursement since so many months passed since I sent in the paperwork. Happy little surprise in the mail! :D

I have a friend in Texas who bought his pump from Way Motor Works, he got over $800 back, and we DIYed the install.

I'm glad you got the happy surprise, but it looks like it took a wee bit more than 4-6 weeks! :mrgreen:
