OE-Performance VVT Sprocket for Mini

The Gates VCP875 is an engine variable valve timing sprocket built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. It is engineered for Mini Cooper intake-side applications where precise cam timing is critical for restoring engine response, fuel economy, and emissions control.

Gates’ Engine Variable Valve Timing Sprocket line focuses on OE-style replacement parts for cam phaser and cam actuator applications. The VCP875 uses durable steel construction and timing-chain drive design to support consistent valve timing operation in Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, and Mini Cooper Paceman engines.

  • OE Performance grade variable valve timing sprocket
  • Steel construction for durability and service life
  • Timing chain drive type with 40 teeth
  • Intake position application
  • Outside diameter: 4 in.; height: 1.46 in.
  • Mounting hardware included; mounting bolt and hole quantity: 1
  • Single-row chain design with .16 tooth thickness

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 918-879 and Standard Ignition VVT610 for the same application.

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.
