Disassembly of the radiator of a Mini Cooper

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

Let's see how the radiator is removed on a Mini Cooper. We remove the soundproofing panel of the engine, then, with a suitable socket wrench, we go to unscrew all the fastening screws of the front bumper. We remove the front bumper. We unscrew the clamping screws above the plates that block the radiator at the top, then lift the car onto a column bridge and loosen the clamp of the water hose. We detach the various convoy sleeves of the refrigeration system with pliers. Once free from screws and pipes, we can extract the fan kit and immediately afterwards the radiator from the engine compartment. Let's get ready to mount the new piece in the engine compartment: mount the cooling fans, clamps, pins and various pipes. We mount the front bumper.
