@1234Anton1234 its very easy to fix the part is about $80 from the dealer. i just searched on mini2 and northamericanmini for how to replace Timing Chain Tensioner and they had step to step guide. It took about 20 mins to do.

thanks everyone for the help it was the timing chain tensioner, it was really easy to change after removing the passenger wheel well cover. Its right near the oil filter using 19mm bolt just replaced it.
