Help - 2013 Mini Cooper S

[Ozzie]

Can anyone please tell me how I know what engine I have in my car - 2013 Cooper S.

I’ve been reading threads and things on the internet and the tensioner failure on the R56 concerns me.

Thanks

It's a bit rudimentary but here's a quick guide.

Thanks mate, are both affected by this tensioner problem.

Sorry to ask daft questions but it’s old age,

The N14 is the affected engine I believe

Thanks very much for your help.

It’s the N14 engine that suffers issues with the tensioner. The guide that Ali has posted is a handy guide to help you identify what engine you have.
