Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing chain of the Mini Cooper?

In order to replace the timing chain of the Mini Cooper, it is necessary to remove some bulky components inside the engine compartment: it will be necessary to loosen the screws that secure the oil pan on the bottom and those that secure the valve cover on the top. Then, the right front wheel, the corresponding wheel arch, and the side panel of the engine block will need to be removed: this way, the chain will be visible and can be removed by sliding out the corresponding tensioner. By doing this, its tension will be reduced and it will be possible to remove it, replacing it with a new one.

How to program the remote control of the Citroen C3?

To program the remote control of the Citroen C3 there is no need to use special instruments. To begin with, we enter the passenger compartment of our car from the driver's side and, after closing the windows and doors, you can insert the key and turn on the ignition (but not the engine!). At this point, the top button on the remote control must be pressed for at least 3 seconds. After these few seconds, we must turn off the ignition, remove the key and press the last button on the remote control for at least three seconds. We just programmed our remote!
