I've had this happen 3 times now. There is something obviously wrong with the design. Never had it happen even once to any other car I've ever owned. Recall?

The valve cover looks like the n18 motor, I thought the n14 motor had the coil oak wires come from the turbo side of the cover, and also has a different removable cover plate?

Great video - took me about 2 hours start to finish. Got 2 springs from Ali Express for about $4 total cost of repair. Center console removal is slightly different in a Mini (not Clubman), but easy enough to figure out. Dumbest design ever, the spring is used to move the little lever, which has a magnet on one end which moves underneath a reed switch to tell the car that the shifter is all the way into the Park position. A micro switch touching the shifter would have been so much simpler. Oh well, saved $1,000.00 with this DIY project.

Here's my problem. After exiting the freeway, my 2008 Mini Cooper S stalled and would not start. After it cooled down, it would start, but would only run if I kept my foot on the gas. I replaced the rear fuel pump, the fuel filter assembly, and the entire fuse panel (fuel relay), and now the car won't start at all. I need to know what you think these symptoms are caused by. Also, is it necessary to bleed the low-pressure side of the fuel line after such a replacement?

People, save yourself the headache and take the front clip off it’s so much easier. I literally just did this stuff on my car and I have to say it is 10 times easier to just remove the front clip. To avoid disconnecting the air conditioner I just propped up the clip on some buckets while I was working on it. Removing the downpipe like this is a really good way to bend/damage your wastegate arm, which is exactly what I did. Had to take the clip apart anyway to fix it.

I like to run a bead of ultra black sealant in the gasket groove. It helps keeps the gasket in place when installing and also adds a little extra strength on the seal it’s self. Also when installing the oil filter gasket I find it much easier to install the turbo oil drain line on the oil filter housing first then once the housing is installed I install on the turbo with the 8mm bolt. I can’t for the life of me get the drain line seated on the housing if I leave the drain line on the turbo and then try and slide it onto the housing. Just a couple helpful hints. This job isn’t bad and the most daunting part is the service mode but after you do it once you’ll understand what you’re doing and it will go much faster and smoother. Also make sure you buy a new v clamp for the exhaust, you’ll never get the old one seated again as it’s become to tight to get over both sides of the down pipe and mid pipe from being clamped down for so long, a new one will slide right on with a new gasket to boot.

Sorry if this is mentioned in the video but i havent been able to watch with the sound on yet so I've just skipped through and watched different parts but it looks like my issue. If I have a very slow coolant leak from the oil gasket housing it's essentially the same process as if it was leaking oil? In other words, whether oil or coolant is leaking, i should replace both gaskets in the housing? Ive been told Blue Devil will do the job just as well as replacing the gaskets but I'd rather try and do it the right way first.

I just had mine done and yes, the coolant gaskets and oil gaskets are side by side and after separating the cooler, those coolant gaskets need replaced too. ☺️

Best instructional video; one that avoids placing the front of the vehicle in maintenance mode.
@StillWater335 ай бұрын
But doing that only takes about an hour. Then you have access to do everything from the alternator replacement thru just about everything in the front. From there you can easily drop the subframe and dor a clutch. Like it's dope to see other ways of doing stuff but Dont discourage the maintenance mode. It's a very advantageous place to be at but, it's not too long to get to either

Realistically can I do this myself? 2010 R60, quite rusty in places from living by the sea for the last 7 years. I was losing a tiny bit of oil, but subsequently lost all coolant driving through town last Friday. 99% sure it's these gaskets. Have done brakes/suspension/O2 sensors etc. previously myself but thought I'd need a lift or similar
