Is there a difference? I'm at 98,000 miles and want to replace all. Don't see JCW belts listed. 2006 R52 JCW.

 

Tensioner is the same, not sure if MINI shortened the belt for the JCW or not since the s/c pulley is 11%.

Just checked and it seems like it's a shorter belt.

 

The JCW has a different belt. You can get the correct size from MINI, or there is a Gates equivalent

 

Thanks everyone. I think I have it sorted for now. Trunk handle, window regulator, belt and tensioner all ordered. I will need direction to the one of many threads that have to exist regarding brake pads. The fronts are looking not new. Google pulls up so many choices I'm sure it has been discussed here ad nauseum. My local NAPA guy, with whom I have a long account and good discount says he has "JWC" pads in stock for like 50 bucks. No idea what they are exactly or who makes them. Car is a grocery getter, school bus. not tracked. Thanks
John

 

Yes the S and JCW have different size belts as the JCW pulley is smaller so you need a shorter belt to be tight enough.
