Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Airbags
Operation: Removing the Mini Cooper S airbag

Do we want to remove the airbag or the steering wheel of the Mini Cooper? Let's see how the airbag is released from above the car's steering wheel. We insert the screwdriver to the side of the steering wheel cover (rear of the steering wheel). We press the screwdriver into the hole until the airbag is released from the steering wheel. Once the airbag (driver's side) has been released, disconnect the power supply terminals and extract it from the steering wheel. To refit the airbag, just fix the airbag above the steering wheel and press until it locks completely. We disconnect and connect all electrical operating terminals before mounting the airbag.

How to open the hood of the Peugeot 206

In today's video we see a very simple operation but at the same time to carry out basic DIY maintenance. We will see how to open the front hood of the Peugeot 206. First we park the car on a level surface, put the handbrake on and turn off the car. After letting it cool for half an hour we can operate. We locate under the steering column, on the side of the door, the release lever. Let's pull it firmly. Now we get out of the car, go to the front and press on the release latch under the hood. Let's raise it and keep it still with the special rod.
