It is a direct-fit style replacement for compatible Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, and Mini Cooper Paceman applications, with fitment listed for 2007-2016 model years. The BT5122 part number is commonly referenced in timing service work where hydraulic chain tension control is required. This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 91122 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Timing chain slack or inconsistent chain tension
• Noise caused by worn timing chain control components
• Service replacement during timing system repair
• Restoring proper chain tension in stock applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and timing system configuration before installation. Confirm the fitment notes for each Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, or Mini Cooper Paceman application, since the listed coverage is tied to stock configurations. Use the BT5122 part number to match the correct timing chain tensioner during service.
