WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2019 MINI Cooper, 2018 MINI Cooper, 2017 MINI Cooper, 2016 MINI Cooper, and 2015 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools required:

IMPORTANT:

When replacing the engine:

For all vehicles with B36 engines B38 that were manufactured prior to 07/2015, the DME must be reprogrammed after the engine has been replaced.

Recycling:

Catch and dispose of escaping fuel with auxiliary materials.

Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.

IMPORTANT: Seal openings or lines on air conditioning with special tool 32 1 270 to prevent escape of media and contamination.

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Remove ACOUSTIC COVER
Remove VEHICLE BATTERY
Remove the POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX with control unit support
Remove FRONT AXLE completely
Remove both output shafts. See REMOVING LEFT OUTPUT SHAFT and REMOVING RIGHT OUTPUT SHAFT .
Remove STARTER MOTOR

NOTE: Pressure line of clutch slave cylinder remains connected.

IMPORTANT:

Slowly relieve tension on clutch slave cylinder otherwise air may be drawn in through sealing sleeve.

If possible, do not deflect push rod of clutch slave cylinder.

A deflection of the push rod caused by removal will cause easy escape of fluid. This escape of fluid does not mean that the clutch slave cylinder is damaged.

Exchange is therefore not necessary.

Release nuts (1) and remove clutch slave cylinder.

Unscrew nuts (1).

Disconnect positive battery terminal (2) and positive battery connection point (3).
