Can't find it anywhere...kinda new at looking for stuff on here. How do you remove the radiator on a 2007 mini cooper s turbo. I have a hole in mine and have a new one on the way. Pretty mechanically inclined just need a little guidance. Thanks in adavance

 

* Remove the front fascia (bumper cover)
* Place front clip in "service mode"
* Gently swing AC condensor out of the way
* Unbolt radiator from tubes and mounting locations and remove

There's a good amount of things in front / side of the radiator before you can directly access it.

Awesome thank you...finally got the radiator today so bright and early it's geeting done.

 

hope to tackle this soon myself....

 

Really easy. Took me about 1.5-2hrs. One thing I didn't do was put the front clip in "service position" really didn't need to.

 

If you are looking for a new one I would suggest a Mashimoto and some new hosing.

 

do tell?? i was thinking i'd have to do that the whole time - can u give me a brief rundown of what you did? keeping in mind i'm new to the car -

i'd love to but i believe that will violate the stock rules. apparently though, for the stock there are some that are plastic and some that are aluminum or something - i'll be sure to look into and get whatever best that i can under stock rules

 

Stock rules set by yourself? If it is the dealership then you should be under warranty and have them do this ********.

 

lolol boy i wish i were under warranty- unfortunately stock rules set for SCCA solo. trying to stay as legal as possible- otherwise I'd definitely go w the mishimoto- it's what I've got picked out for the evo as well
