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

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - 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.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
