Mini Cooper S brake fluid replacement

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Brake fluid

In this video tutorial we will see how to replace the brake oil of the Mini Cooper S, following these simple steps. First we open the engine hood and start unscrewing the cap of the brake oil pan; now we use a pump with a hose to suck the old brake oil, as shown in the video. We can also bleed the brake caliper by unscrewing the valve and repeatedly pressing the brake pedal; now we are going to pour the new brake oil into the reservoir, filling it up to level and pressing the brake pedal so that the new fluid enters the circulation (all with the engine running).
