Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Alternator
Operation: Disassembly and replacement of the alternator

Start by disconnecting the power supply by disconnecting the positive pole of the battery. Remove the coolant pipes which must be placed on their side to access the alternator. Raise the car on the bridge and start unscrewing the screws at the bottom, then lower the car and proceed from the bonnet with those at the top. Having freed the alternator from the supports and the belt, unhook it and pull it upwards to remove it from its housing. The operation is difficult and requires the disassembly of some components to have the necessary space for extraction. Once the faulty alternator has been removed, proceed with the reverse operations to replace it with the new component.
