Ok so I'm planning on doing the cvt service myself. Who has done this and what was your experence with it? I can get the fluid from momemtum mini in houston for 70 bucks a liter, And do I need to get the cvt fill tool? mini mania has it for 65 buck and what type of fluid transfer pump did you used to refill the trans. I was just going to use a hand operated light oil transfer pump you get at the autoparts store.

 

$70 a liter
I thought Honda ATF was bad at $10.
How much do you need to service the CVT?

 

My dealer (Motorwerks Mini) only charges $210.00 for the fluid change. If you're buying fluid for $70.00 x 4.5 =$315.00, how much are they charging to do the change?

 

I ask them how much just for the CVT service and they told me it comes with the service two for 700 bucks. I told them I just wanted just the CVT serviced that I did all the other stuff on the service two and they told me 600 bucks for just the trans service

Wheres you dealer at?? Whats there number maybe the can talk so sense into momemtum mini

 

so I just called Mini of the woodland the other mini dealer in town and they told me 250 to service the trans and 20 a liter for fluid momemtum is crazy the woodlands is about an hour drive but I'll make for that price difference

 

What about the special fill tool? Does anyone know if you can get by without it?

 

Motorwerks Mini is in Minneapolis - I don't think any special tools are needed. There should be 2 plugs - one to drain and one to fill - it does need to be pumped in. The dealer told me if I do it myself to make sure I don't overfill. (4.5 liters)

 

this is the tool bently calls for when doing the service
