Hello everyone.

I just bought a MINI. It is a 07 Mini Cooper S turbo.

It is really nice but it needs work. As far as know there is one cylinder that has no compression.

I would like to know where to start. The engine does run with a miss fire but it runs. When it runs there is black smoke at first and then it goes to white.

I want to know where to start. Im thinking about taking the head off and see what the damage is.

In case i can't fix the engine where could I get an engine? and what years would it fit?

Thanks for your time and your help.

Welcome,

You need to find out what's wrong, sounds like you might have a blown head gasket? Or worse.

If you need any parts check us out. If you do need an engine the N14 engine goes from 2007-2010 in all the S models. In 2011 the engine went to the N18.
