How to change the fuel filter on a Mini Cooper R50

In this video I go through how to change the Fuel Filter on a Mini Cooper 2006 R50.

I did this and it was the one of the easiest I have ever done. Nice of mini to put an access plate to do it. Unlike some american cars that requires the fuel tank dropped. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to make a clear and helpful video. My only comment is, after just DYI replacing my transmission, how unbelievably difficult Mini designed everything.

like a proper teacher. Thanks

Thanks for the video. I'll also be doing this outdoors. Mind sharing if you depressurized the fuel line or lowered the fuel tank level before this? I'm trying to balance safety with over-doing things.

Thanks! 🙏🏻

There a bleed valve on the rail, get off all the air to start it easily (key turned on, to pressurize fuel system)

YOU SHOULD HAVE CHANGED IT WHEN YOUR FUEL WAS ALMOST EMTY🤣🤣
