I was reading over the extended warranty coverage and it stated "all internally lubricated parts including" and then starting listing items but didn't list the timing chain tensioner.

To my understanding it would be considered an internally lubricated part, right? It works of oil/ and oil pressure and needs to be lubricated to work. Whats your thoughts of this, im just curious.

Thanks.

 

Maybe this will help. These are considered to be internally lubricated parts
pistons
piston rings
wrist pins
connecting rods
connecting rod bearings
crankshaft
main bearings
camshaft and cam bearings
cam followers
rocker arms shafts
pushrods
hydraulic lifters
intake and exhaust valves
valve springs
valve guides
oil pump and pick up screen
timing chain and gears
timing chain tensioner(s).
engine block, cylinder head(s

 

There is no dispute about it. The timing chain tensioner plunger is part of the oil system. You just can't argue about it. The plunger isn't forced onto to the timing chain guide by anything else. This is something the MINI document writers forgot to mention.

 

Thanks Bram, that's the list I was referring to but mine didn't state tensoiner and it was from mini's site?

That's what I had in mind, that they forgot this part.
