Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool & Locking Pin For Mini Cooper S

Essential Belt Tensioner Tool for Mini Cooper S and JCW Models: Precise Pulley Management

The Belt Tensioner Tool is a key wrench for safely adjusting the drive belt tensioner on Mini 1.6 W11 petrol engines. It’s crucial for mechanics working on Mini One, Cooper, and Cooper S models with engine codes W10B16A, W10B16BA, and W11B16AA. The kit includes a tensioning tool and a 4mm locking pin for the camshaft pulley. While the full timing tool set for Mini 1.4 and 1.6 engines (ASTA A-MINC16) is sold separately, this set has the essential parts needed for belt adjustments and replacements on models from 2001 to 2008. OEM part numbers are 11 8 410 and 11 8 470.

Features:

• Precision Fit for Mini Models: Specifically engineered for Mini One, Cooper, and Cooper S, compatible with engine codes W10B16A, W10B16BA, and W11B16AA.
• Specialized Tooling: Includes a serpentine belt tensioning tool and a 4mm belt tensioner locking pin, crucial for accurate maintenance tasks.
• Enhanced Safety: Designed to safely retract the auxiliary drive belt tensioner, reducing the risk of incorrect installation and engine damage.
