- changing the fuel filter on a 2009 mini cooper s R 56
Here is the link to the filter I got it off of Amazon for about $55 dollars
OES Genuine Fuel Filter www.amazon.com/dp/B007A0KI9G/... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Might be worth mentioning that you need over 1/2 a tank of fuel for the vehicle to restart, otherwise thanks for the video it was a great help doing mine.
That's true
How long did it take to start ?? Plz help
For anyone watching this, there are 2 other videos on youtube on how to do this and between this one and the other 2 all the details needed to do this will be in them all. This video has a few details the others don't and vise versa so I recommend watching all 3 so you are fully prepared.
Thank you so much for this! Great work!! :)
Ivanna Rios thank for the great comment and checking my video out
Decent video, but missed the very important location of the medium o-ring at around 6:04.
If you miss this, the car will refuse to start.
Only after watching another video on the r53 filter, did I see where this should go.
Yeah, it is hard to follow this video. Need someone separately to film.
Dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last few months =)
@Jesse Lucas yea, been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Thank you.. I finally fit the gasket on 1st and seat the lip inside the gas tank.. Then the lid fits easily.
Great video very helpful
moviemaker101001 awesome glade I could help
While you're back there clean those seats, lol.
Luis Daniel
It’s funny you say that. I vacuumed them out after this video. That seat you see there on the left is where my sons booster seat is.
I did same in my r52S 2005 166000km. I want to use ethanol. I missed to correctly assemble the two parts and the pressure was 0 inside the injector common rail. Had to dismount. Turn contact 3 times and pompe at the left side must change her noise with pressure increasing. The filter is so big that it is not useful to change except for ethanol.
I have a 2011 Mini Cooper S....would my fuel filter in the same location?
soglenn
It should be On the same side as my 09. I don't see why they would switch it to the driver side. Good luck on your repair and thanks for watching.
Try to only have 1/4 of a tank of gas. Remove the gas cap to take the pressure off the system. Open all the windows. Don't make any sparks by dropping wrenches.
The blue gasket is killing me! It either wants to fall in the tank or pop out the top. ANy suggestions?
+Christopher Young
Honestly I had the same issue. You need to make sure the gasket is fully seated. Then put the rest of the filter housing in slowly trying not to hit the side. Key is to go slow.
Where can I find the two small O'rings inside of the 2003 R53 Mini S filter housing head where the fuel line clips into after the outer steel ring is replaced. Mine came out and was split in half. One was bronze and the other was yellow.
To be honest i bought this as a kit. im not sure where you could get those separately.
@@OFFAxisBuilds Ok..I am not talking about the ones that come with the disposable fuel filter. There are apparently two inside of the location where the fuel line is clippend on and off at the beginning and end of the filter replacement process.
I see sorry for the confusion. You might be able to find them at your local auto parts store. If they don’t have them then I would try maybe a junk yard or the dealership. Good luck sorry I wasn’t more helpful.
When you say the big washer "goes along the rim here" at around the 6:12 mark, the camera doesnt show it. Does it go round the bottom, from where you fished it out, or on the lip most of the way up? Also, what about the massive blue gasket?
I am sure you figured it out but he shows where it goes at at 6:30 in the video for anyone else wondering.
Could a dirty fuel filter lead to misfires? I have a used 2011 Mini Cooper s with 160k miles, changed the coils and sparks plugs and cleaned the intake manifolds and cleaned the intake valves but still have a cylinder 2 misfire
Danneth Boi
That would be the next thing I would check, however the worst case could be your timing chain.
Or Carbon Build up
Great video, the blue gasket sealer I seen that you had 2, was both use or the 1 on top?
Maleek Caraway
Only one was used. The second is for the other gas tank seal on the driver side.
I never even saw you use the blue one, where did it go?
It goes on the top to seal the screw in cap.
Hi, great video. Is it normal to hear a hissing sound from this area AFTER you replace the new filter and rings? Maybe it's just because I'm not used to hearing it with no metal cover and seat cushion on top, but it seems to be making a hissing sound now, but not leaking any fuel.
PIGG Radio
If i remember correctly mine didn't hiss. But then I would check all of the washers, and make sure they are properly seated, also make sure the main lid is tightened down properly. Good luck, and thanks for watching.
Your quick reply is much appreciated! I'll take your advice and recheck everything. Thank you very much!
PIGG Radio just did mine today and I also have a hissing sound. Did yours go away? Or was a seat not correct?
thats the pump turning on
Yes mine did the hissing - I suspect its the fuel being sucked through the filter - normally not heard due to cover and the seat base being in there - (Couldnt believe the road noise on the test drive before reinstalling the cover and seat base - lol)
How many miles did you have on your car? How many miles on the filter? My mini has 53800 miles, I'm just wondering if i need to replace mine. Thanks
David Ha
I replaced mine at 100,000.
Is it the same process for 2009 mini cooper non-S ???
Bazanji
Honestly I haven’t changed one on a none turbo but I would think the location would be the same.
Thanks for sharing! 346 :-)
hi sir
i have aproblem with mini cooper s 2012 engine n18b16a. the compure shows " low pressure". i replaced a new pressure pump and it's didn't work. do you think the problem becouse of a dirty filter?
GANAIEM MOHAMMAD
Mine had a similar issue, and it wound up being my high pressure fuel pump. I got lucky because mine was still under warranty. but if that is the issue, then the pump can cost close to $3000. Is yours a turbo model or non turbo. I would take it to a dealership and have them run the code. Good luck and thanks for checking out my video.
yea it is a turbo. i'm from israel sir. how can u help me please? can you check for me if my car under warranty?
GANAIEM MOHAMMAD
If I were you I would put a code reader on it and find out what code comes up and then do an internet search for that code and then I would call a dealership here in the states to see if it is under warranty. I'm sorry I can't check for you. You will need to call a dealership for that info. Good luck to you I hope you get your car back on the road.
Thanks alot
Hello. I have a 2013 Mini Cooper, ¿Do you know when I have to replace it? Thanks.
Diego Martínez
I was told by the mini dealership, that it should be replaced ever 60,000 miles. I replaced mine at about 90,000 because that's when I got the car and wasn't sure if the previous owner changed it.
I changed mine this weekend. And now it's misfiring 😐. Was running just fine before I changed it.. any ideas.??
Maybe one of your o rings or seals was installed improperly or you didn't seat the fuel filter on right, or it could just be a random coincidence. Also you might not have tightened the top on all the way or put a part on wrong.
I need to change the sending unit is there a video for that??
I never got to replacing that part, however it’s on the drivers side, and should be just as easy. In fact if you already replace the filter you should have the gasket for that side. Good luck
Man your car needs a hoover. You see that cloud of dust go "poof" as you lifted the seat, haha.
FearlessEgg
Yea that’s were my sons car seat is. I didn’t realize how dirty it was until I took it out for this video. 🙂
Have you ever seen or heard the top portion of the fuel filter housing leaking? Mine is and not sure why.
no i haven't. its probably a bad seal.
Top portion of the housing on mine had turned yellow and had small spider cracks causing the honey comb to fill up with gas. I had found a replacement on Ebay (the complete filter housing} and now, no problem.
I did service on filter and it now won't start! Has anyone else out here ran same issue?
Did you try to prime the system? Fit the key in the on position as if your trying to start it. It should take about 30 seconds. If that doesn’t work then one of your seals was not set properly. You meet pressure in the tank for your car to start.
I got mine at Advance auto parts for $10 and it comes with all the gaskets

I’m glade you were able to find a deal
link to filter that you got?
KaosTheory360
This is the Amazon link. It was about $55 dollars

KaosTheory360
Thanks for watching I hope it helped you
why did you skip over the very first disconnection??
Keith R
You know your right. I mentioned that you needed to take it off but I couldn’t remove it with one hand.
To everyone who replaced the filter, does your car run smoother ?
David Ha
It ran a little smoother, but I sold the car because I was dumping to much money into repairs. Timing chain got replaced at 80,000, and turbo got replaced at 60,000, caltalitic converters we’re going out when I sold the car. All and all i put $5000 in almost 1 year. If I were you. I wouldn’t replace the fuel filter I would sell your car. It’s going to be nothing but a money pit around 80,000.
@@OFFAxisBuilds i totally agree. I already paid $2500+ for the manifold and timing chain replacement.
I am going to replace this part and see if theres a difference. $60 is worth a try. I'll drive it for a little bit and then maybe i'll sell my 2010 r56.
David Ha
Good luck and keep the rubber down man
David Ha
How rough is it running? Is it on idle or when driving. I had similar issues and I replaced all 4 coils and was about to replace my $2000 catalytic converters. That’s when I said enough is enough. I sold it. I was sad to see it go because it was such a fun car.
On ne voie pas les phases démontage
You were supposed to “turkey baste” that old gas out of the filter housing before Putting the new one on. All that dirty ass gas from the older filter..
you are correct. i forgot to mention that you need to turkey base the old gas out. i did it right before i added the new filter off camera because i needed two hands to put the filter in.
I just got done doing mine and it was kinda annoying but saved the big bucks baby! And thanks your video did help. God bless

I’m glad I could help. Please like subscribe and share
Another one who doesn't show how to put in that upper seal. Everyone of you online forgets to do it. Then when you remember, you gloss over it. It is not simple.
. I just wish you would of shown step by step not explaining it. The editing kind of took away a few things that were important. Remember visual my friend
Cesar Polanco I completely understand. I did the best I could do to show people how to do this. I was planning on doing this at home with a tripod, however I was stranded at work. So I couldn’t get a camera set up for every angle. Thanks for the great input and advise.
why does mini says fuel filter is lifetime 😅😅😅😅
Maybe mini’s life time is 100,000 miles. That’s when you want to sell it because you will start to have a lot of issues.
I'm
tu zappe toutes les étapes importantes pour ceux qui parle pas ta langue c'est dommage!
Bruno Marten
I have heard that a few times. It was hard to get all the angles. So I tried to relay it in the video the best I could.
I hope the translated properly
Lo he escuchado algunas veces. Fue difícil obtener todos los ángulos. Así que intenté transmitirlo en el video lo mejor que pude.
