How do you replace the timing chain on the Mini R56?

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing chain of the Mini R56 you have to open the hood so that you can access the left side of the engine block. Here, there will be a crown protection panel around which the timing chain is arranged: by removing this panel and loosening the central crown nuts, it will be possible to reduce the tension of the chain and remove it from its housing. Once the old chain has been removed, it will be possible to insert a new one by mounting all the components that were previously removed.
