Part: Radiator

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the radiator in the Mini Cooper, an operation that requires good manual skills. First of all, make sure that the engine is completely cold, then remove both the upper grille of the bumper and the lower panel of the compartment. Then open the cap of the expansion tank, remove the wheels, the fenders and the bumper, and bleed the system by disconnecting the lower hose.
