Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Timing belt
Operation: When to change the timing chain of the Mini Countryman

As we had already explained for the belt, the timing chain also has the task of synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft with the movement of the valves. Instead of the more classic timing belt, some vehicles use a special chain, which can be either dry or in an oil bath. As in the case of the timing belt, a breakage of this element can even lead to irreparable damage to the engine, as valves and pistons would collide inside the cylinders. On the other hand, however, a chain is more robust and has a longer average life than a belt. On this car, the manufacturer provides for replacement every 120,000 km or 6.8 years.
