So before i get flamed to read all the other threads and search, i have, and i still cant get a definetive list on what specific parts i need to change the timing chain, tensioner, and water pump. I have the rattle expierenced with these R56's and i would like to sort it out sooner than later. I'm on numerous other forums and its easy to find a timing belt or chain kit for my tdi or Land Rover, but this its pretty brutal for such a talked about topic to get a list.

So i stopped by my local mini dealer to get a list of what i need, and they gave me this long list with a bunch of bolts and gaskets on top of this. Ive changed timing belts before and generally i dont change bolts and gaskets but i understand that was the stealers take on it.

My question is, What parts do i need, and what are the part numbers, i would like to get the new chain, and the tensioner, not the tensioner for the stretched chain, and i will also be changing the water pump while i am in there.

Can anyone help with that? Thanks! Photo of the parts list that mini gave.

 

I would go to Way Motor Works and buy their timing chain replacement kit for $399: http://www.waymotorworks.com/timing-...-cooper-s.html

and timing tool kit for $299: http://www.waymotorworks.com/timing-...7-r58-r60.html

and water pump for:$150 http://www.waymotorworks.com/water-p...8-r59-r60.html

Now, if I can only get Way to send me a commission!

I found the tool cheaper on amazon, $175:
I guess the commission is gone for sure!

Please check that these are actually what you need!

I expect to do the same thing in the spring, so you should be able to sell the timing tool to recover some of the cost!

 

Thats more than Mini quoted me.

 

I was told the Timing tool kit was not required, and if you look, the sheet the dealer gave me was cheaper than that kit!

 

Thanks for posting the list; out of curiosity, what did the dealer quote you for a price to replace the chain & tensioners, etc??
