This has been a known issue with that family of engines for sometime now (it was also used in the Citroen DS3 and something else which escapes me), I mean don't get me wrong, always good to warn those looking at the issue for the first time but this is hardly headline stuff!

We have a N18 but changed the tensioner anyway. Only £30 or so quid from Mini. It’s a very easy job.

Old and new had different part numbers. I primed the new one. It definitely felt firmer.
