Guide to replacing the timing chain of the Mini Cooper S

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Timing belt

Today's guide will show us the main steps for disassembling and replacing the timing chain of the Mini Cooper S. On this type of engine, the timing chain should be replaced every 250,000 kilometers or ten years, although it is recommended to visually check it before reaching that mileage. So let's open the engine hood and remove the cylinder head cover and the crankshaft pulley, removing the distribution cover. Then, we proceed with the replacement of the timing chain, taking all the necessary references.
