Mini R56 [N18 Engine] 1.6 TDi Timing Chain Death Rattle Replacement

Timing Chain Death Rattle is an issue that is commonly found in the MINI N18 1.6 TDi engine from 2010-2015.

The issue relates to the spring-loaded timing chain tensioner becoming less efficient or failing which in turn leads to a slacking of the timing chain which in turn hits the timing chain guide rails and as a result leads to damage to these guides. Hence, the noise! 

If left unchecked the end result is usually the timing chain snaps whilst the engine is running. The associated costs of repair to the damaged engine can be quite painful. This a cost effective replacement service when compared to potentially serious engine damage.

Maintenance of the timing chain along with regular oil changes is essential to ensure a healthy engine and prevent what can be significant engine damage. Read our Blog on Death Rattle for more information.

Death Rattle Fix involves changing major timing kit components and an oil & filter service.
