How to Top Up the Coolant in a Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

Before you can begin, open the bonnet of your Mini Cooper. The correct coolant level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines. Start by unscrewing and removing the cap from the expansion tank. Then, insert a funnel into the opening. After that, begin pouring the coolant into the expansion tank. Continue pouring until the level is near the "MAX" line. When you reach the "MAX" level, remove the funnel and screw the cap back on, and you will have completed the coolant top-up for your Mini Cooper.
