The engine cooling fan, both in the Mini Cooper and in any other car model, plays a fundamental role, as it cools the temperature of the engine itself, along with the radiator fluid. When it is removed, it almost always means that it needs to be replaced because it is burnt out, or the bearing is stuck and also needs to be replaced.

Let's see how to proceed: After opening the hood, first remove the intake manifold of the air filter and then, quite simply, reach the locking pins of the fan and remove them, finally disconnecting the electrical connectors.
