Cost-Effective Fixes for Timing Chain Snaps on Minis

[Darkspawn_Magister]

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone here has dealt with timing chain issues on their Mini Countryman or similar models (like the Clubman or R56 with the N47 diesel engine). If your timing chain snapped or jumped, how did you go about the repairs?

I’m exploring cost-effective options to avoid replacing the entire engine. I’ve heard of some repairs being possible that fix the chain and address any related damage for much less than swapping in a used engine.

If the timing chain has snapped or jumped, some repair shops offer solutions to fix it without replacing the entire engine. JSYK, it’s crucial to consult with a professional who specializes in the N47 diesel engine for cost-effective options.
