Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to replace the drive belt in the Mini Cooper S?

To replace the drive belt on the Mini Cooper S (R56 model), we first need to lift the vehicle with a jack or jack stands on the passenger side. Then, we remove the wheel, the wheel arch, the headlights, and the cross panel. We also disconnect the two water reservoirs, both for the windshield wipers and the radiator, and remove the hose that goes to the turbocharger. Now, we locate and remove the belt tensioner, which is secured with three screws. The belt is now free and can be removed. We complete the procedure by installing the new belt.
