Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: How to change the steering wheel of the Mini Cooper

In this video, we see how to change the steering wheel of a Mini Cooper R53 with a three-spoke one. To remove it, we will need a screwdriver. We turn on the ignition and look for the two screws located under the steering wheel, which will allow us to remove the airbag. We turn off the ignition and now we can disconnect the battery or remove the airbag. Our YouTuber chooses this option and pulls up the tabs behind the device to remove it completely. Now we see the 17mm screw that secures the steering wheel to the steering column, and he unlocks it with a screwdriver. If we look closely, we see a mark that we need to align: we straighten the wheels and remove the steering wheel. We install the new one - which has the same line and we will align it - we pull all the cables inside and reassemble our 17mm screw on the steering column. We connect all the connectors and mount his airbag. We test the functionality of the steering wheel controls; if everything works, the job is done.

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.
