Replacement of the timing chain of the Mini Cooper.

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Timing belt

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!
