Got a light on that says my auxiliary water pump is "bad". But there are two on this vehicle. Anyone have any more info? Can't find any schematics of where it is even located. Online found two versions of the waterpump. One seems to be for the turbo and the other "hybrid stuff" like battery etc Seen reports that one of these keeps things flowing at low speed etc through the heater core and more. Thanks!

 

Hey man, did you find anything out? I'm in the same situation

 

Yes I found out not to trust what you're told at Mini. They said it was the aux water pump for the Turbo. Even gave me the part number. NOPE it's the Aux water pump for the hybrid system. The car has three; mechanical, aux turbo and aux hybrid.
Mini wants............wait for it................$1700 ( after I asked them if they could do a little better) down from $1900. This pump is like $250 online but requires I guess special equipment to prime the system etc after install.
I have another Independent BMW shop checking it literally as we speak to give me a competitive quote. I'll let you know when I get it. These $50,000 MINI/BMW hybrids are a nightmare. This car has been nothing but trouble and only 100k miles over 7.5 years.
