Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: V-belt
Operation: Where is the service belt located in the Mini Cooper?

First of all, the service belt is not the timing belt and is generally replaced around 100/120 thousand km and it is necessary to evaluate the wear of its components from service to service, always taking a look at the belt tensioner. Maintenance is recommended every 6 months or at least once a year. The service belt has a relatively simple but very important operation, it transforms the motion of the crankshaft transmitting it to all the other services: alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump and in some cases also to the water pump that cools the radiator and motor.

How to reset the AdBlue warning light on the Peugeot Expert

Adblue is the additive that is used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel engines. Passenger cars of the latest generation have an additional tank for this additive. The filler cap is located next to the diesel fuel filler cap and is usually blue. When the additive level falls below a preset value, the indication appears on the control panel display that it is necessary to top up the AdBlue otherwise, within a certain number of km it will no longer be possible to start the engine. Therefore, once the additive has been refilled, the indication on the instrument panel will disappear.
