How to replace the oxygen sensor of a Mini R56

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Oxygen sensor

Let's see how to replace the oxygen sensor, also known as the "lambda sensor" on a Mini R56. Its main task is to measure the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gases: this information is sent to the ECU, which uses it to adjust the air-fuel mixture, in order to optimize combustion, improving the engine efficiency. We remove the front plate of the engine compartment, removing ten bolts and three clips. Under the manifold, in a rather awkward position, we find our sensor, which must be unscrewed with a 22mm wrench and pulled away from the opposite side, also removing an electrical connector for more space.

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500L

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
