Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to replace the brake fluid in a Mini Cooper S by following these simple steps. First, open the bonnet and begin unscrewing the cap of the brake fluid reservoir; now use a pump with a tube to siphon out the old brake fluid, as shown in the video.

You can also bleed the brakes from the brake caliper by unscrewing the valve and repeatedly pressing the brake pedal; now pour the new brake fluid into the reservoir, filling it to the correct level and pressing the brake pedal to circulate the new fluid (with the engine running).
