MINI R56 Cooper SD Servicing Costs – 2.0 Diesel Power in a Hot Hatch Shell
The MINI R56 Cooper SD is the quickest diesel variant of the second-gen hatchback — powered by BMW’s 2.0-litre N47 engine. With strong torque and great real-world efficiency, it’s a favourite among commuters and long-distance drivers alike. But like all N47s, it demands careful maintenance to avoid timing chain failures, DPF issues, and boost faults.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we offer fixed-price servicing tailored to the R56 Cooper SD. Our technicians understand this engine inside out — including swirl flaps, DPF sensor pipes, turbo control faults, and everything in between.

We use BMW-approved low-ash diesel oil and OE-spec filters to keep the turbo, DPF, and timing components clean and protected.
