Use the Gates VCP875 when servicing intake cam timing on 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, and 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman. It is a direct-fit engine variable valve timing sprocket for vehicles that rely on accurate cam phasing to maintain smooth operation.
Common Problems This Part Addresses
- Rough idle caused by worn cam phaser components
- Loss of power from incorrect intake cam timing
- Reduced fuel economy linked to timing control issues
- Check engine lights related to variable valve timing faults
- Excessive emissions from inconsistent valve timing
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm intake-side fitment by year, model, and engine configuration before installation. Replace the sprocket only after inspecting the timing chain system, related guides, and tensioning components for wear. Follow factory timing procedures and torque specifications during service to maintain correct cam timing on Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, and Mini Cooper Paceman applications.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this VVT sprocket to OE performance standards using high-quality materials and application-specific dimensions. The part is tested to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, power delivery, and emissions control in the intended Mini applications.
