FYI- you defo need the long sensor socket (there is a short version socket, which is not even close to being long enough).

Do you have a part number for the outer seal that goes onto the roof

where did you get it from?

Hi! You solve your problem? And how?

Never use copper grease in combination with steel and aluminium. The metals will weld together trough the heat.

I just did this but now my car won’t start. I disconnected the battery while I was installing the new bracket and I stared the car a few times during the process to make sure I did the wiring right. After I finished and reconnected the battery for the final time the car didn’t start. Do you have any idea what could be happening?

Jesus, this roof rack was so confusing. Thank you so much for uploading this. Got myself a rubber mallet and it just nicely, gently, moved into place.

Impressive sir...🎉 Could you tell me, how to access that spring. I'd like to reduce its stiffnes So more water can flow. I live in tropical city.. it reaches 40'c on sunny traffic

Tengo un minicoper r56 … marca error en MSA electrónica digital antes del catalizador sona lambda. tubería de liberación activada. Está fallando cuando el auto va caliente y fallando un cilindro solamente. Será el sensor 1?

I hate Mini

very helpful thank you!!!

this won't work on 2008 R56 on all cases, very sure it is different like each coop has a different personalities lol

How do I know is the Freon and not the compressor? Asking because mechanic can say is compressor to get money

I keep getting a 2B4F code. MAF sensor on my scanner. I put on a new one, and it throws the code again about 5 miles down the road, and the car starts to shut off/bog down. Any thoughts? 2009 base model.

Are you sure the pin couldn't be inserted through the holes in the door and through the green rubber seal and lock in? The new connector has square holes in the door larger than what's needed for just the wire. How did Mini do it? Appears to me that you took a big chance of breaking an expensive new connector when you removed the grey part.

Appreciate this series for the R56. Not too many useful videos out there but these three were super helpful. Thank you

I did what you did and it worked. Awesome. Thank you so much. 🙏

You saved my a ton of money, time and trip to the dealership. 55$ at auto zone and I'm driving cool in Texas. God bless you!

Hello, thanks for the video. Im currently encountering the same problem with one difference; I drove to the shop, paid 400usd and they gave me back my Mini with new coils and car is making clunky noise. So I drove back, and they promised to fix it, two days later they called me, everything is fine, but in fact they didn't even touch the car. So now im looking for somebody who can fix it, since I dont have any tools and doing it on the street is illegal. But thanks for bringing ideas of what can be wrong.

Thank-you for this solution. Worked right away.

I don’t think you need the wooden plug to enable pushing the crossover pipe into the water pump. I put a new crossover pipe loosely in place, joined the thermostat housing to the crossover pipe and pushed the retaining spring thing in place. I could then get all the purchase needed to easily push the crossover pipe home into the back of the water pump. I put loads of water soluble lube on the end of the crossover pipe. No need to take off the manifold or struggle to refit the retaining spring thing after pushing the crossover over pipe home.

Thank you so much for your help!!!!

How do you torque it down

I have a 2011 Honda Ridgeline. I ordered it straight from WeatherTech with no problems. From ordering to installing, I had no problems! However, at high speeds (80+ miles per hour) the deflector rattles so bad that it shakes my rear view mirror! Does anyone else have this problem?

Mejor coche del mundo

how can I recharge the A/C of the mini cooper s convertible 2011, which type of refrigerant is the one suitable for this type of car. thanks

Whats the estimated time to replace the FRM, does anybody know?

Don't touch the shifter it will mess up the gear

I want to thank you 🙏🏽 Sir for explaining the gasket positioning prior to setting housing back in. I've been trying to smash this thing in for an hour before I watched your "how to" vid. Thank you for explaining that process bro. I really appreciate you!

Thanks for the video. I believe this is my P0036 trouble code.

I want to offer you thanks on a silver platter. I went back to the task of replacing the fuel filter this morning and in a short time was able to fit the top of the fuel filter system back on and secure it with the metal ring. Today's new approach which worked--- 1. I froze the rubber seal overnight to cause it to contract. It was my wife's idea, and she is both brilliant and quite beautiful, and I listen. 2. I placed the rubber seal into its position more carefully this time by suspending the filter with baling twine (I farm) from the Oh Sh--- handle in the back seat passenger side and I was able to run my fingers 100% around the "in place" seal ensuring that there were no twists nor bumps. 3. I used the rubber hammer idea and hammered with one hand while slowly turning the metal ring with the other until it caught a tooth. From there I hammered more gently until the gradual rotation of the ring stopped and was securely in place. I am so overjoyed at this that I haven't bothered to try to start it. I want to enjoy this small victory for a few minutes. Have I said, "Thank you kindly," yet? I can't say that enough. Thank you kindly.

If your car run from 194 to 230 it's very normal

So yeah..everyone has an air compressor in their garage right..why didn't say this would require one first..horrible tutorial..only for limited people..useless to most

Didn't show how you got the last rubber gasket in. I'm still wondering. Mine won't fit back so far.

P0136 code. Replaced both O2 sensors and code still returns after driving 10-15 miles. I’m at a loss…..

how did you connect the end of the cable to the latch release...

They should remedy it regardless if it is showing signs of corrosion yet. Just because it isn’t causing issues today doesn’t mean it won’t tomorrow!

I had a 2010 mini Cooper with a Lean o2 code AND it wound up being the brake booster and I was perplexed because the booster had a mechanical vacuum pump but I unplugged the booster and put My fingers over the vacuum pump and the trim valve started to correct it self so I changed out the brake booster and the problem was fixed.😊

Please don't do this...... Diy isn't for everybody, call a professional dear God.

When you pull back the weather stripping to pop the inside panel away, is it easy to put back or do you have to use some sort of glue?

Bruh....it sounds like a hurricane cause you have your vents throwing air out lol it doesn't have to be fast air, if your mic is receiving airflow it's going to pick it up. Thanks for the video though. Did help me out.

Hi, I have 2008 r56 n12 and it’s driving me crazy. It’s heating up and displaying warning (red oil symbol) but the cooling fan does not turn on. The fan turns on when the AC is on or when I unplug the coolant temperature sensor (safe mode). I have replaced the sensor but no use. Any ideas? Could it be the connector? The ECU knows the car is hot because it displays the warning but won’t turn the fan on! Thanks

What brand of thermostat did you use?

Thanks bro it's works well

You could send me the link where you buy the connectors and the tape you use, please. thank you

which one is the R and which one is the L? Is it passenger or driver?

Thank you so much 👍
