Report of the same 'coking up' phenomenon as occurs on R56 MINI Cooper S models also occurring on a 207CC 1.6 THP150:
The coking up is in fact a build up of carbon deposits on the inlet valves. Oil vapour from the crank case breather pipes is fed back into the intake manifold to keep emissions down under steady state engine modes but because the car is direct injection (port injection would mean that the fuel would normally wash any depositsoff / stop any build up) the vapour starts to deposit carbon material on the intake valves. This makes them 'sticky' and so affects engine timing and can cause misfires etc.
Fuel type has no affect on the carbon buildup as the fault develops because the engine is direct injection and so no fuel touches the inlet valves, which would normally keep them clear of the build up the turbo Cooper S suffers with. However, the detergent additives in Shell V-Power 99 Ron Super may well prevent this. Build up is principally subject to how the car is driven.
Steady state engine modes such as idling in traffic or cruising on the motorway speed the process of carbon build-up.
MINI has removed the remedial 'decoke' process from its warranty so you can no longer claim to have the car fixed if your car suffers from the symptoms of carbon build up (which include: hesitant acceleration, poor cold idle, poor cold start up including stalling, missfire under load and depending on how bad the buildup is complete engine failure requiring a topend rebuild).
The only fix is to strip the head off and get the head and valves cleaned up. Independant MINI specialists charge in the region of £1,500 for this while MINI will have your car for around 2 days if they undertake the work.
