In this guide, we will go over the main instructions on how to disassemble and replace the water pump of the Mini Cooper. To access the water pump, it is necessary to disassemble and remove the front bumper and the cooling radiator by unscrewing all the fastening screws and disconnecting the various hoses (allowing the coolant to drain); then we unscrew the fastening screws of the water pump in order to remove it, as shown in the video.

At this point, we install the new original replacement part, securing it properly; we reassemble the radiator and make all the connections, topping up with the new coolant.
