How do you replace the diesel filter of the Mini Cooper S?

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Diesel fuel filter

In order to replace the diesel filter of the Mini Cooper S, you need to loosen the screws that secure the rear seat to its housing: this operation will give access to the fuel pump cover panel, which must be completely detached. Once the pump is accessible, you can also locate the filter that will be installed on it: you will need to release the pump from its seat by loosening the screws and disconnecting the power cables. At this point, you can insert the new filter into its housing by reassembling the removed parts.
