How to replace the water pump of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Pump

In this video we can see how to replace the water pump of a 2004 Mini Cooper. It is not a simple task: we have to remove the two front wheels, the front grille, the bumper, the air conditioning radiator, and finally we get to the water pump; it is a job that requires at least four hours (if you know how to do it). To remove the front bumper, the best thing to do, since we had to lift the car anyway to remove the wheels, is to remove the supports that hold the bumper in place. This way the grille will also come off easily. Then it will take at least another two hours to reassemble everything. We can find the pump on Auto-Doc for 88.37 euros, plus 9.95 euros for shipping.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
