How to replace the water pump of the Mini Cooper S r55.

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

To replace the water pump of the Mini Cooper S r55, first remove the right front tire. Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel, then remove the bolts and clips securing the fender liner and remove it. Use a 10mm wrench to loosen the bolts on the pump's power pulley; remove the air conditioning duct support and take off the friction gear cap of the pump. Remove the pulley and, from the front of the vehicle, drain the coolant from the lower hose. Remove the five 10mm bolts securing the pump to the engine. It is advisable to place a container under the work area as water may spill from the pump. Extract the old pump and remove the old gasket; clean the pump's contact area before installing the new component. Once the new pump is in position, secure it in place with the corresponding bolts. Reinstall the pump pulley, insert the friction gear cap again, and reposition the water hose and air conditioning duct support. Reassemble the fender liner and the wheel. From the engine compartment, slightly loosen the coolant system bleed valve and top up the fluid to the correct level. Tighten the bleed valve and start the engine for a few minutes. Check the fluid level and top up if necessary.
