Video tutorial

This tutorial shows how to install a cold air intake in the engine bay of a Mini Cooper R53. In the first part of the video, remove the original equipment. First, lift the air box shield and unscrew the screws securing the air pipe.

Once the air box is removed, extract the filter. Lift and remove the two covers on the intake pipe and free the connections.

Remove the inlet and take out the rest of the air box from the engine bay. In the second phase of the video, prepare the new air intake box. Secure it carefully to a wall of the box using locking screws and support brackets. In the third phase of the video, insert the assembly into the engine bay in place of the old one, secure it with screws, and connect it to the intake pipe.

Once the clips are tightened, restore the connections and reposition the covers. After fitting the new filter, cover the box with a protective plexiglass sheet.

Location of the Jack and Spare Wheel of the Toyota Yaris

In the unfortunate event that one of the wheels of the Toyota Yaris is punctured, it is useful to know the location of the lifting jack, the spare wheel, the tool to operate the jack, and to unscrew the wheel bolts. The jack is located under the driver's seat, secured to a bracket and protected by a plastic cover, which you can remove by acting on the fixing clips. The spare wheel is located under the floor panel of the boot, secured to the floor by a threaded plastic flange, alongside which you will find the tool, consisting of a bent bar, which is used to operate the jack on one side and to remove the wheel on the other.
