Hi all..im a new mini owner from queens ny...picked up this 2005 cooper s r53..4 codes and overheating..got it for a good price..im gonna service the supercharger and check/change water pump and seals..im not familiar with minis so any advice,tips or help is welcomed..ive gotten this far..is there any way to get the belt off without that special tool?

 

Welcome. I would get a Schwaben scan tool we sell, the generic ones only show so much. On that ABS sensor ours will tell you which side. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d-q-and-a.html
