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

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the on-board computer in the Mini Cooper, a very simple operation. First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, then remove the clips located inside the upper air vent and, using a Torx T20 key, unscrew the two screws just released. Next, unclip the two side trims of the dashboard, unscrew the additional screws indicated, and remove the entire dashboard frame. At this point, we can unclip all the remaining plastic covers, disassemble the central console, unscrew the screws securing the on-board computer, and remove it from the housing.

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working.
