I can't find it online. Any info would be appreciated.

 

Here's a few details. Really wish BMW/Mini would make these publicly accessible like nearly every other manufacturer, though.

Actually this is not the same SIB I almost posted this one after doing a quick google search of the number, but the one in that thread is SI M11 01 13 and not SI M11 04 13...small difference but it makes me think this is a new one.

 

situation
The timing chain tensioner applies pre-tension to the timing chain guide rail mechanism. In some cases, the tensioner spring force may be too low. Depending on the severity of the wear, it may lead to a rattling noise when starting the engine cold or when the engine is idling.







cause
The timing chain tensioner internal tolerances are not consistent.

affected vehicles
This Service Action affects certain MINI models equipped with the N14 engine, produced from 11/2006 to 5/2009.


In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Service Action completed or is affected by this Service Action, first check the B-pillar label for code number 61. If code number 61 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 61 has not been punched out, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.

1. The timing chain tensioner will need to be inspected before removal. The timing chain tensioner is visible from above, inside the engine compartment, between the intake tube and air filter housing. One of the following timing chain tensioners may be installed. Do not remove the timing chain tensioner for the inspection.
2. If the engine is fitted with a timing chain tensioner that has a drilled head (item 2) or has a machined head (item 3), do not replace the timing chain tensioner. No further repairs are needed. If the chain tensioner has a flat head, proceed to step 3, replace tensioner.

 

Do you have the full TSB in a PDF?
