How to top up the Mini Cooper R50 power steering hydraulic fluid

Model: Mini Mini R53, R50, R52 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Steering wheel

The guide shows you how to top up the Mini Cooper R50 power steering hydraulic fluid. For this operation, the vehicle must be placed on a flat surface and secured. The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located inside the engine compartment, near the flame plate. In fact, on the left of the battery compartment there is a small tank with a cap. After unscrewing the tank cap, there is a dipstick to check the fluid level. Top up with the same hydraulic fluid already present in the system and which complies with the manufacturer's specifications. Top up the liquid until the maximum level is indicated on the dipstick. Check the correct operation of the power steering before taking the road.
