Mini Cooper S Turbo Engine and Automatic Overview
This engine came from a 2008 to 2010 Mini Cooper S. It’s the N14 engine, the turbo unit Mini used in the R56 generation. The automatic transmission comes with it, so you can handle both parts in one job.
Mileage matters on a turbo Mini. Wear builds with age, so a lower mileage unit usually gives you a better starting point. Mini Cooper S Engine Fitment: 2008 to 2010 R56 Models
The engine code is N14B16A. It fits the 2008 to 2010 Mini Cooper S Hardtop (R56). Some Clubman and Convertible S models share it too, so we’d suggest a VIN check first. Don’t use a non S Cooper engine here. It’s a different unit.

Known Mini Cooper S Engine Issues: Timing Chain and Carbon Buildup
N14 is no exception from having issues. Issues such as: develop timing chain stretch or tensioner wear. A rattle on a cold start is a common warning sign.
Carbon can also collect on the intake valves. That’s common on direct injection engines. You may notice a rough idle or less power over time.
So, while the engine is out, ask your shop about a new chain, tensioner and guides. It adds cost now. However, it can save you a second teardown later.
