New Engine Water Pump from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEW...
This video shows you how to install an engine water pump on your 2007-2013 Mini Cooper. The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind.

2007 Mini Cooper
2008 Mini Cooper

The best video so far about replacing the water pump! Removal of the water pump pulley followed by the tensioner pulley allowed a better access to the pump. Other videos either demonstrated struggle to maneuver the pump or dismantled half the car to do the job. 👍

Thanks mate, Just about to do the one on my wife's car. Haven't done a Mini water pump as yet, so thanks for the video. Cheers Bluey

[@jameszumbrock1650]

Doing a 2010 right now, everything he says is pretty accurate with the exception of the top bolt on the water pump. Nearly impossible to get at. I've been working on it for over an hour and I'm ready to punch something

[@MDALAM-nh2sh]

very straight forward technique. Other guys make it extremely complicated. Hats off

[@charlesb.3116]

This can't be a 2008 cooper. The 2008 has even less space to remove things. Don't get me started on the water pipe. If I ever meet the engineer who designed this car there is going to be a misunderstanding!

[@charlesb.3116]

Great video though guys. This did help a lot!

[@ToeNailBreaker]

Took me 8 hours to get this done on our 2012 Mini Cooper S Countryman. I would like to know what special tool? That darn tentioner took the longest to get those bolts out. After doing this job I can only think of a 10mm flex rachet wrench, S-Shape Rachet wrench, Offset wrench, or halfmoon rachet wrench to make things go smoother and reduce time. This was my first time changing a water, so the video was a mig help and guid to know what to expect.

[@clozedcaskets1438]

Thanks for the video, about to do one now, im a diesel mechanic so had to watch a video on this little guy. This doesn’t look fun 😂 lmao

[@rockyacrbusa]

I put a jacl under the engine and took the motor mounts off and worked from above. It was easier and the top bolts were easier to get at. Buy some shorty sockets and the wrench also. Got a torque wrench on the pump bolts at 9 nm.

[@mindtwister6249]

I’m assuming mine has went bad but I don’t know, probably gonna look at it today and if so then follow this video

[@Hugs_4_Bugs_]

Oh awesome, I totally thought I would have to remove my thermostat housing AGAIN! I just replaced my thermostat last month and lo and behold, my water pump goes out! Byebye A/C byebye coolant circulation byebye engine fan lmao... Fortunately, this is a 20 minute video on the job. This looks very doable and I don't have to clear half the engine bay to reach it.

[@CityOfSpears]

What is the special tool used to get in those tight spaces?

[@thomasduan8508]

Great video! Very nice camera sets up, good skills, clear instruction. I really like it!

[@davidlopez7330]

Ive found it easier to just remove engine mount and lift or lower engine how ever need to remove it.

[@Leoneidas]

What goes out on the pump? Looks like it should still work just fine? Maybe it leaks?

[@davidlward7998]

Why did you install a water pump that was different from the original. In the video the original water pump has a casting hole with a plug that is clearly visible. The water pump you put in doesn't have this and the water pump you put in looks like it has an electrical plug on the side.

[@alexw7766]

Hi I’m looking into doing this myself, I’ve been told you need a bmw computer to reset it once you’ve done it it’s a 09 plate 1.4 is This true ?

[@JacobStein1307]

do i need to replace the tensioner or is that re usable?

[@user-uv6oq8mz5c]

I would replace the hose and serpilentine belt as well.

[@gokselemre5940]

İs this same with countryman 2011? Thanks

[@j.gtheautotech8455]

What’s the difference between 1a Auto and TRQ?

[@rockyacrbusa]

NO, NOT 9 Ft.Ls. Yes, 9 nm on the water pump bolts.

[@PrestigeWorldwide-XXII]

U R AWESOME!

[@condemn1214]

How many miles prior changing this water pump?

[@user-ii5ew3jb3i]

Can you tell me how to change the water pump

[@LuisFigueroa-ql4xb]

Máster of masters 👊🏻👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TRQ]

+Luis Figueroa Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@lancelapointe4621]

They are pretty much all the same. I’ve got to replace a water pump pulley. So I don’t have to dig the rest out

[@jdhall420]

is this on the N18 engine by chance?
