Another extremely useful video. I will be swapping my N14 Clubman water pump and this tutorial is invaluable real world experience. Heroic effort to film this, yet again. You also helped me to swap my timing chain. Thanks!

[@cuanbarlow2323]

Definitely good video I like this tutorial on timing chain. I’m doing my water pump while I do. The timing chain on my mini should be easier than this.

Crazy how easy the new water pump went in. I’m on about an hour trying to get a new one back in.

[@mattb3779]

Thank you for this vid, I was about to go to a lot of work to access bolts from the top and remove whole wheel well. This will save me time! Thanks!

[@420shayaa]

Clear, to the point, no useless info. Thanks for the great video. It was a lot of help

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you 🙏

[@DigdugDak908]

Just started research on a r56 project and I'll be using your videos as a fantastic guide once I get it.

[@ProjectMini]

Awesome!!!

[@gavintickleVHS]

Thank you! Wouldn’t have been able to change mine without the guidance of this vid. You are a hero.

[@ProjectMini]

I had my timing chain and a new turbo installed on my R55 a few years ago...and it cost a pretty penny for the parts & labor. However, the garage never considered to replace the thermostat, oil filter housing gaskets and oil cooling gaskets...while the car was in already in front-end maintenance mode. The garage did replace the valve cover...but failed to tighten the valve cover bolts to 90 inch-pounds as well as apply RTV to the leak prone areas on the valve cover gasket (front and rear corners/clean side). In other words...the engine leaks oil in all the known places and it could've easily been avoided. I will no longer take the mini to a garage for simple maintenance. Fuck them. Bought an aftermarket ALU valve cover with new gaskets and hardware...installed myself to spec and now the cover no longer seeps oil. While doing this job, I also installed a clean side oil catch can. Bought the following: Water pump Friction Tensioner Insulated Turbo cover Turbo oil feed line (flexible type) Thermostat housing Oil filter housing gaskets and oil cooler gaskets G48 coolant 5W-30 Synth. I will do all of these things on a weekend...at the same time...while the fluids are drained, turbo downpipe is removed, and wire loom is disconnected. I figure its better to kill as many birds with one stone...while the car is up and there is space and lighting setup to do everything as efficiently as possible. If parts arrive for a dirty side catch can...I'll do that one too. Found a new garage...I'll have them do a transmission fluid drain/refill (with new filter/gasket).

Good job, just did mine on an Peugeot RCZ it was a nightmare due to a wiring loom blocking access to the top bolts!! No idea if I have done them up tight enough - fingers and toes crossed.

Brilliant to complete this job without a hoist.

You have loads of videos and great information. Please help me with engine codes A0B4, A0C1 and A0C2. These popped up after replacing my Timing Chain, which i also did this water pump replacement, added the K&N cold air intake and intercooler. Fresh oil, coolant and Bosch plugs. Car ran great on 1st start up, then next morning, no crank, no start. Battery is also good. Those 3 codes popped up. 2010 cooper S R56 6 speed. 79k miles.

[@arjanp9469]

Quick question: how much total time did it take to replace the water pump?

[@powerpaulize]

Ur the best!

[@beatbox8838]

What do i do if the pin you are supposed to pull out broke off? And the pully is now stuck in place?

[@gildardorodriguez4356]

What's the most common anytime of a failing water pump?

[@tm5346]

[@enamchoudhury8835]

Can u help water pump is not sitting flat

[@ProjectMini]

Did you make sure both pumps were the same before installing?

[@enamchoudhury8835]

Yes they r the same

[@enamchoudhury8835]

The little hole next to the top bolt hole is blocked by something

[@enamchoudhury8835]

That’s why it’s not sitting flat

[@enamchoudhury8835]

I can’t get the debris out of that hole

[@thedom1678]
