Just checking in at 122,000 + as of July 4th. Gonna go back to different plugs, as the factory ones they put in at the last service do not let the engine as smoothly until higher in the rev range, and I'm convinced that uneven power pulses aren't good for the computer control of the CVT - it needs to run as smooth as possible. Hope all others are well, and happy motoring!

Hello All,

Been a while since I posted here. After 3 months of trying to work it out I have my car back. BMW/Mini Canada bent me over and did me dry (extremely vulgar but the most accurate description of the situation. I had a friend at a Subaru Dealer order me the parts through him so I got wholesale on a new one and grabbed a new tranny cooler as well. The bill was painful.... More details to come as the saga is unfinished.

Good Luck all

06 Cooper Cabrio CVT - 32,000km with no problems.

kiwichris · Aug 21st, 2008, 10:29 AM

2002 MINI ONE, 64000Kms ( 40 someting miles) .All going strong....
Remanufactured CVT available here in NZ for 3500 NZ dollars.
The only thing I noticed is a slight hesitance at take off ( at traffic lights .stop and go traffic etc)
Will get the car rechipped tomorrow as my Mini is a ONE model , which is a detuned version of the normal COOPER. ( 90 bhp instead 115) . With remapping I will end up with 123bhp.

Otherwise : I LOVE IT.
Really glad that I sold my 300SL .

Sejanus,

Add my 2006 MC CVT to your list of happy drivers! I just bought it this last July with 25,000 miles on it, now it has over 28,000 miles.

Add my 2003 MC CVT to your list of drivers. 63,000+ miles on the car so far and still going. But reading this post makes me nervous.

Had my car in the shop today for some maintenance, and to also check the cvt out. It rumbles a bit when I put it into gear (the rpms drop a bit, then back up when I begin to move.) Service stated thats normal for it to do that since it's getting older. Just thought I'd mention that to see if others had their Mini cvts do that.

For those whose MINI cvts had failed, how was the car acting months prior before it failed?

2007 CVT

nearly 11,000 miles

No problems

84,000 miles; still huge fun.

I'll add that my son and I got into an evaluation of cruise control and technique differences for fuel mileage improvement this summer. We had chances to drive other people's cars and rental units too. The MINI Cooper CVT may still have the best system; it is SMOOTH. It works.
