Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014

In this guide, we will see the process of how to disassemble and replace the timing chain of the Mini Cooper. First, we open the engine hood of our car and start disassembling and removing the cylinder head cover. To do this, we disconnect all the pipes and connectors that we find on the top, removing the air filter box and the engine support, and then unscrewing the screws of the cylinder head cover. Then we remove the distribution cover, taking the necessary references for the replacement of the chain, following the video tutorial until the end!

Open the bonnet and secure it, lift the car on a column lift (if necessary, remove the front wheel using a screwdriver to take off the right wheel arch liner). Use a fixed spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Use a socket spanner to undo the securing bolt of the tensioner pulley, then remove the water pump as shown in the video.
