(Oil pressure Problem fixed) 2003 R53 Mini Cooper S oil plunger

[@1QKGLH]

My oil light comes on at start up. If the throttle is blipped just a little it goes off. Oil is fresh and full so I replaced the sending unit. Didn't fix it. I just ordered this, along with a filter and gasket for the housing. Outmotoring showed no stock on the valve. I texted the number and they answered my question within an hour or so. Good customer service. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for sharing , wish I would have seen it before buying the Doorman which didn’t worked .Waiting for the part from outmotoring

[@brownbear1664]

Do you have instructions on a pdf document or can you show the removal and installation of the plunger valve?

[@fredrickmoore5977]

This helped so much very happy I found this video

[@kb4148]

Excellent information, Thanks

[@banjominer9682]

i think the valve only pulls out if its bad.mine will not pull out at all.scared to mess with it anymore

[@rafalzehner8941]

Hey someone knows where to find the part in Europe? I cannot find it…..

[@PijakCzystejKrwi]

Hi mate hopefully you will reply on this comment, what prongs you talking about in this video? I have oil pressure issue, only when engine is warm. I've changed oil pump, already disassembled engine on pieces, I thought it was crankshaft bearings problem but they doesn't look that bad. I just removed this plunger and it looks fine I guess.

[@scuffedgarage8519]

So with that part that opens and closes, the prongs I was taking about help the motion in the small valve open and close. The original bmw part is faulty and gets heat soaked and cracks or malfunctions, so with the end result replacing that fixed it and also i wont have to take it off again. anytime you have a chance always change parts that get updated ! Hope that helps

Ciao sai dirmi se oltre a fare accendere la spia olio e rendere rumoroso il motore all' accensione fa consumare anche olio?

[@NYChemicalRomance]

Also. Be aware of certain pattern filters. Not all have the anti-collapse inner. I was having issues with my oil pressure light. Took the filter out. It had collapsed. Put a Bosch filter in. Problem solved for now.

[@abubakarsurajo2768]

What happens when you delete the drain back plunger?

[@MichaelHov]

Tnx. Im having my low oil pressute turning in on idle which goes away after i press the gas . It happened after the mechanic changed the oil and he said that there was a loose oil spring.😊it would have been better if u would have showed how to change it.

[@welcomegreece]

Have you any idea where i could find the by-pass valve (metalic spring valve) on the buttom of the oil filter housing?

[@Klaus1Olaf]

What will happen if it out, could the car will be good for a moment I put the new one

[@scuffedgarage8519]

Should fine as long a you put a new one in!

[@Klaus1Olaf]

Awesome tanks

[@jesseholland1049]

I have a 2003 with the NA motor and the filter is located in the back of the engine by the exhaust manifold. So I can't really see the plunger. How does it come out?

[@scuffedgarage8519]

Remove the flange with the oil cooler re-gasket everything, thats the only way and honestly its not that hard!

[@aromeeto]

Man I'm doing the job of changing all gaskets on the oil filter housing. I can't find anywhere torque specs for both the cooler and the filter housing to the motor. Can you help me?

[@scuffedgarage8519]

lol never torqued it to spec, just sent it brill it felt good lol good luck

[@casatawid8773]

Hi I just found your video and the question that I have for you is, my 2013 Cooper S just show me a message "engine oil pressure too low" I stop and check the stick and I noticed nothing wrong on it, so I drove almost 16 miles and nothing happened, but the message was still there...so, im wondering if what you explain on the video could be one thing I should considered before do anything else. Thanks!!!

[@scuffedgarage8519]

it could be many things, like low oil, oil pump worn out, time is off, or a brocken switch

[@kylerankin9433]

Is this the same on r56 one non turbo

[@scuffedgarage8519]

I would be lying if I said yes but the best thing to do is just take it off and see, good luck

[@9879tito]

Can this part also be used on 2010 mini Cooper s turbo?

[@scuffedgarage8519]

no

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

How do you actually change the plumber

[@scuffedgarage8519]

Just pull the white top plunger out might be a different color. Just pop the new one in lol

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

@@scuffedgarage8519 too easy . thanks

[@nikkor76]

Does the oil filter housing need to be removed to remover the plunger?

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

@@nikkor76 nah

[@shimaze5479]

​@@scuffedgarage8519 I tried to "just pull it out" as you claim, but I can't get it to come out! Now I have F'ed around with trying to pull out that I am afraid to leave the old one in. I hate to try to grab this stupid thing with vice grips, but looks like I have no other choice

[@ryanmartin1018]

Where do you get the part?

[@scuffedgarage8519]
