Where is the Mini Cooper towbar located and how is it fitted?

Model: Mini Mini F55, F54, F57, F56 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

In the Mini Cooper, we can find the tow bar inside the luggage compartment, in the toolbox under the bottom panel. Once the hook has been recovered, let's move to the front of the car and, as we can see in the attached video, locate the small door on the bumper, on the passenger side. We unlock and open the door, insert the hook and screw it firmly to the thread. Once finished with the tow, unscrew it, close the flap and reposition the hook in its special slot. We carry out towing operations always following the safety procedures provided.

Lift the hood and secure it with the prop rod, then disconnect the fuel supply hose that leads to the injectors. Connect the pressure gauge and the cleaning kit to the fuel lines; start running the cleaning fluid from the previously connected kit through the fuel lines of the injectors (repeat this process several times). Disconnect everything and start the engine. Reinstall the fuel line leading to the injectors after cleaning them of any dirt and deposits.
