How to fix a timing chain problem on a Mini Cooper?
Years 2007-2014

Answer

On Mini Cooper cars fitted with the n47 engine, BMW has encountered a design project on the timing that leads to the breakage of the chain and also that of the engine. The only thing possible is to replace them in their entirety with a considerable expense (thousands of euros). For all those who have carried out regular maintenance at authorized workshops, BMW recognizes a discount on the replacement of the distribution even out of warranty. However, each case is unique so it may be interesting to contact the service assistance of the house to personally present the case.
