Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Thermostat
Operation: How to replace the thermostat in the Mini Cooper S?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the thermostat in the Mini Cooper S. Before doing so, we wait for the engine to completely cool down in order to operate safely. We start by removing the air filter box by removing the corresponding bolts, then we disconnect all the indicated connectors and remove the intake manifold sensor. Once the area is clear, we disconnect both thermostat hoses, unscrew the two fixing bolts with a 10mm wrench, and remove it from the engine wall. Finally, we install the replacement by following the reverse procedure and top up the amount of lost coolant during the operation.

How do I unlock the fuel filler flap of the Opel Meriva B?

To be able to unlock the fuel filler flap of the Opel Meriva B when it is locked, you need to have an object that acts as a lever to be able to move the inner wheel arch cover. By inserting your hand inside, you will need to pull the latch that blocks the door from the inside, as shown in the video. The fuel flap can be opened by pulling the latch from the inside. The problem depends on the motor of the mechanism: by going to the dealership it will be possible to replace the entire piece, which will be under warranty for two years and will allow you to refuel in peace.
