Look at the VXR owners forum and you'll see its no isolated incident.
I also posted links showing the faults with the superchargers from the Mini owners forums. Again, not an isolated incident.
the mini's i just don't remember, had 4 of them myself over 3 years and never remember the supercharger being an issue, most issues were Intercooler leaks, power steering pump and the oil pump issue ( what caused my engine to go bang) I mean there were over 50,000 supercharged Cooper S's sold in the Uk alone and closer to 250k worldwide.
but the VXR piston 4 only affects
non standard cars. out the box there is no issue, dodgy remap, then yes there you go. there have been no mods to the Corsa VXr engine apart from on the Nurburgring edition, and its still on sale today, had this been an issue opel/vauxhall would have redesigned.
Ps thats 4 cars not 1 .....lol
