Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R55, R56, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Alternator
Operation: Mini Cooper alternator replacement

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove the alternator of a Mini Cooper R56. First of all, we open the bonnet of our car and begin to remove the upper clips that we find near the bumper, as shown in the video; then with a screwdriver unscrew the screws of the lights and remove them, disconnecting the electrical connector. At this point we remove the bolts of the mask, removing it too, and we are going to remove the screws in the fenders in order to loosen the bumper from the sides; then unscrew the alternator support screws, releasing the belt, and remove it.

How do I unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to unlock the automatic transmission of the BMW 3 Series, the Start / Stop button and the lever release button must be pressed at the same time. This procedure will allow the car gearbox to be unlocked for about 15 minutes, so that in the event of an engine failure, the car can still be moved. It may be necessary to repeat the operation more than once for its success. After unlocking the gearbox, it can return to its original state by simply waiting for the aforementioned 15 minutes, or by pushing the release lever forward for a few seconds.
