What do u do about the timing?

This is guy is crazy. Both statements are wrong. The coolant level is shown on the tank and it is not at the seam. The engine oil level should never be maxed out on the dipstick. It should be in the middle. Don't listen this man he literally has no idea what he is talking about. Also it is not normal for these engines burn 1 quart every 1000 miles so that's a bs claim as well. If that is the case you need a repair.

Thank you mate

I don't understand what was wrong with BMW. They made everything so complicated on this car. Nobody can make aftermarket parts because they're so specialized. I pulled out the dipstick myself and I'm familiar with those in Japanese cars and American... So I'm looking for like the crosshairs on a basic dipstick.. and then I seen this. I just don't understand the attempt to try so hard to be different where it makes everything so hard on parts. Even the windshield wipers I couldn't buy in a store I had to order off Amazon because of the specialty clip. I need to let my car rest and I need to go check that oil. Thanks for vid.

hello any idea why f4 fuse keeps burning mines cranks but wont start no spark either i need help asap

Hey hey guys I have a 2005 R53 S and I have a P0340 I replaced the camshaft sensor and still have to check engine lit up ..? What should I do

Took me 8 hours but I had to go the store a few times for tools

How do you register the battery working on your own car?

Where can I purchase the S2 Solenoid? Contact Mini dealer they claim they Do Not sell the Solenoid separately..

If I have 0 pressure on secondary pressure duty cycle and 60 on control motor position. Will changing s2 solenoid make my mini move.

Just learn how to do simple maintenance it’s not that hard people

Well it only took you 32 hours less than it took me so i guess im good

Thank you. This saved me money and time doing it myself. I have damaged the rubber bits under the air intake. Any idea where I can find some online?

Excellent video. Thank-you!

Thanks for the video. A freaking battery and it's basically inside the engine! I'm guessing Pep Boys won't install these for free. ;-)

Holy crap, that's a lot to take out that battery

hi i have a similar gerabox but it only recognise the second gear, it doesn't accept to shift, i have repaced the disks and the cvt velt. can u please give any idea of what can it be or a way to solve it?

How do you register the batt tho? Do I need to plug a laptop into the car? Tysm!

Great video. I see you removed the bracket supporting the hpfp and vacuum pump. My machinist did it but didn’t reinstall. Are there and washers/ gaskets in the grooves?😊

Thanks for the information my Mini Cooper is doing the same thing and nothing is appearing on the dashboard but it only starting when you diagnosed the car and the person said I must changed the Battery of the Key

You might have entertain yourself, but this was a waste of time for me! How are we supposed to learn how to do this if you don’t show anything? Shaking my damn head!

Hope you sold it. Those engines are terrible. Between carbon build up and chain guides being shredded and contaminating your entire engine, they are a non stop headache. Trust me. 😅

My power steering falls out when the motor gets hot changed pump but still have the same problem

Best tutorial on battery replacement for this car I've seen.

Thanks for discussing my 05 base "tweety"! This is a car with 115,000 miles, original engine and transmission. The engineering in the car saved my life, that to me will make it worth throwing parts at this great little car for a long time. It was the knuckle at the carrier bearing. Thanks for the advice and the inspiration. Keep up the great work!

This was great! The battery in my girlfriend's 2021 Countryman died. I had a 2009 coupe and replacing the battery was a whole lot simpler. I would have spent half the day figuring out how the battery in this one came out. If I ever meet you in person, the beer is on me.

Hi I have a 2005 mini copper 2 door 53 1.6L s I've replaced water pump and thermostat an house an vacuum blade the system but it still burping out of the expansion tank an cooling fan comes on but why is the fan come on if not up to temperature. I would really appreciate the help

can you explain that?

Is same transmission like 2008 year?

I no it's hard, but sure would have been nice to see how you even got to the timing chain? Thanks for the Vid! 😇🙏👍🌽

Boy ain't no way boy 😂

Is it possible for metal particles to get into the engine oil after the turbo has failed?

Have you ever run into an N18 that blows the pcv valve cover and diaphram off under acceleration?

Good video very knowledgeable how you explain the process thank you boss

I fukin hate mine been nothing but problems!

Hey what is the part number for that solenoid? Thanks

Replaced the harmonic balancer, still have the code.

No info bro. Torque? Process? Just you moving.

How do you reset the adaptations? Do you just drive it like you said early on in the video for a couple hundred miles?

some people Just like to hear themselves talk

Thanks for posting this video on how to reassemble the Min Cooper's Valvetronic assembly and springs from hell. Just like you, I had a lot of trouble getting the rat trap spring put on Intake Valve 1-A, but it finally slipped int place with some gentle but firm persuasion and a lot of French words. This is the best video on KZfaq on how to put these types of cylinder heads back together without any special factory or home-made tools to re-insert the rat trap springs into the roller rocker arms. By the way, I noticed that you did not keep the roller rocker arms in nay particular order and put them back into the head wherever it looked convenient. I was under the impression that all valve train components had to be reassembled back onto the particular valve that they originally came from during disassembly. Is that just an urban myth?

where did you get a new transmission?

lanch x431

useless

nice video need help with my 03 mini cooper s odb port not working check fuse all good no power

Bro never owned a mini I guess. These pieces of shit burn oil to a point that you have to add a quart basically every time you fill up at the gas station

Hi I change the valve body sensor on my 2006 mini cooper s with 79 thousand miles but now it won't reverse do you know why. Thank you

Thank you for the information,,how do I test the solonoids before installation..

Great job. I got the gearbox out for a timing kit job. But I forgot to put back the crank sensor plate. The car starts still. Will check for error codes, if any. But i think i might have to remove the gear again to install the plate.

Good job for highlighting this, the only time Valeo is good is for near srock power or for those who tend to just commute rather than drive hard. The Valeo kit also cannot clamp as much torque as the srock which has been proven over 350Nm constant. The Excedy SMF kit looks the part althouth ive not been able to get my hands on one here in the UK. Might be worth a look for you guys over there
