Let's see the information that will allow us to disassemble and replace the engine cooling radiator of the Mini Cooper S. First of all, we open the hood of the car and start disassembling and removing the front bumper; to do this, we remove the grille and unscrew all the fixing screws, as shown in the video.

At this point, we disconnect the coolant pipes from the radiator, also disconnecting the cooling fan; we unscrew the radiator brackets to remove it and replace it with the new original one, finally reassembling all the other components and topping up the coolant fluid!
