How often should the belt on a BMW Mini be replaced?
1 Answers
BMW Mini's belt should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Definition of the belt: The belt is an important component of the engine's valve timing system. It connects to the crankshaft and ensures accurate intake and exhaust timing through a specific transmission ratio. Belts are used instead of gears for transmission because they produce less noise, provide precise transmission, have minimal variation, and are easy to compensate. Hazards of not replacing the belt: If the belt breaks, it usually starts with some cracks or becomes very hard due to aging. Without maintenance, teeth may start to fall off, leading to the engine skipping teeth, and in severe cases, the belt may break completely.
