Belt: Serpentine

Details

When your MINI starts getting into the 60K+ range in mileage, it's time to start thinking about replacing stuff like belts, gaskets and other rubber hoses that tend to break down over time. If you have a Cooper S and are installing a smaller supercharger pulley, now is the time to replace the belt. We have belts for the base Cooper as well as Cooper S, JCW Cooper S as well as belts for various supercharger pulley diameters. If you're going to a 17% or 19% pulley, you will need to get a smaller belt in order to allow the belt tensioner to work properly. Even if you have a stock Cooper S, you can use our standard replacement belt which is also ideal for use with a 15% pulley. If you've got over 25K miles and you're doing a pulley, I recommend replacing your pulley for added security and to save on labor charges later on.

This is produced by "Gates" who supplies not only MINI but also Carquest and Napa - while the physical belts are the same and come off the same production line, they simply private label belts for each of these retailers/brands so you are getting the same belt as supplied by MINI with different part numbers/designations.

Here are the options:
gates: #060406 =1050mm = stock Cooper belt
gates: #060547 =1404mm = stock Cooper S belt
gates: #060539 = 1385mm = ok for stock OR w/ 15% pulley
gates: #060535 = 1379mm = best w/ 17% (and with either the 0% or 2% crank pulley)
