This guide shows how to top up the power steering fluid of the Mini Cooper R50. Position the vehicle on a flat surface and secure it. The power steering fluid reservoir is located inside the engine bay, near the bulkhead. On the left side of the battery housing, there is a small reservoir with a cap. Once you remove the cap, you will find a dipstick to check the fluid level.

Top up with the same hydraulic fluid already present in the system that meets the manufacturer's specifications. Fill the liquid until the dipstick indicates the maximum level.

Check the proper functioning of the power steering before taking to the road.
