Anyone got Inspection II done by MINI with a smaller pulley?

Hi,

Do you think MINI would carry out a Mini Inspection II service which includes replacing the ploy V Belt on a car which has a smaller super charger pulley ?



Thanks

Perm

They will but it would be an idea to purchase the smaller belt that goes with the smaller pulley as they would not have these and then getting them to fit it.

It was acceptable in the 80's

many thanks.

As it happends the BBR 220 conversion uses the "stock" belt". Something to do with
the cosworth idler in their conversion means that the std belt lenght can be used.

Now wonder if I bought the extended TLC that they would still carry out the service.......
( I expect they would complain as it would be obvious that the car had been modified ).

Cheers

The only people who can really answer the question then is the dealer. Some are mod friendly, some aren't.

I'd just take it there and not mention the conversion if it uses the same belt but might be worth asking if they would still service if you took out TLC XL

It was acceptable in the 80's

Incidentally I have a Hartge 230 conversion and my dealer has no problems servicing it.
