ALTA Performance Adjustable Tensioner Stop - MINI Cooper S (R53)
ALTA Performance builds bolt-on hardware aimed at fixing known weak points on MINI's supercharged engine, and the Adjustable Tensioner Stop is a direct answer to a common failure point on the MINI Cooper S. It replaces the OEM dampener with a stronger, adjustable unit designed to keep belt tension consistent and reduce the risk of belt failure and the damage that follows.
This listing covers the supercharged MINI Cooper S (R53), built from 2002 to 2006. It's a direct fit replacement for the factory tensioner stop, with SKU AMP-ENG-195BK for the standard black finish version shown on this listing.
Note: This part is specific to the supercharged R53 engine and its tensioner assembly — always confirm your MINI is a supercharged Cooper S before ordering.
