should I change out the timing chain and guides at 100,000 Ks on my mini cooper R56 chilli , year 2007 , hatchback ?
Even so , if it is in good condition should I change the timing chain and guide out anyway ? Is it recommended by BMW Mini to change it out at 100,000 Ks ? __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: |

The engine used in your vehicle has a tendancy to stretch the timing chain. Especially if the engine oil is run low a few times. If you are performing routine maintenance or repairs related to the timing chain and guides, I would replace them. If the chain is not noisy, it maynot be necessary.
