5-10 minutes job for most cars becomes a 2 hrs job for the mini
Little advice for the belt tensioner for those who are only doing it by themselves, remove the headlight and remove the bar, no completely but enaugh so you can lift it up and move it around. After that you will have more room to work from the top and get your key on the belt tensioner, and push at the same time in that pin. It takes 5 min to access it and save a lot of pain 👍
For anyone wondering, if you don’t have the oem belt tensioner and it’s aftermarket. Most aftermarket have a 30mm wrench to release the belt tensioner.
I didn't have a 1-3/16 (30mm) wrench, so I used a one foot piece of 1X2 wood and a floor jack and pushed the tensioner pulley wheel up to the point where I could put in the pin. The beauty of using a piece of wood is that I could file a depression in the end so it wouldn't slip of the pulley wheel.
Great video. Thanks. I did purchase the tool on ebay. I was able to do it myself without removing the headlight assembly. really not that bad. The biggest pain was the inner fender skirt.

Thanks very much! I was searching youtube for the exact information that you gave at 4:42 in the video! Now I don't have to order a belt tensioner tool from Amazon :) thank you!
Video was super helpful, Thank you :)
Didn't have the special tool or the correct spanner so took the tension off with a 1/2" drive extension bar and a secondary floor jack. Also negated the need for a second person to push the pin :D
You guys are amazing, you've helped me do so much to my mini cooper ❤️

Hello 1A Auto Parts,
first of all congratulation for the video is very well explained like many others your video.
can ask why you couldn't use the wrench from the top and lock the pin your self.
YOU ARE SO AWESOME MAN! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS
A1 I'd like to say first of all you guys are amazing everything I need done to my car I've done by myself and sav d tons of money. I would like to see you guys do valve seals for a 2011 mini Cooper countryman man s all 4.
Thanks for the video very step by step. My tensioner was 30mm but all went well, with exception of a few curse words 🤬 😆😆
Just did one of these in the parking lot of a 7/11 sem elum. I did none of this in video. Accessed the tensioner from top with 1 3/16 modified wrench. Move headlight out of way. Finding correct belt was toughest part.
Thank you
Can you replace the belt from the top instead of having to remove rhe wheel etc?
Thanks for the video, it`s one of many that I am using after 3 mechanics gave up on troubleshooting my S and I have to rebuild from a box of bolts. I have to ask, why did you go from the bottom? Was much easier to release tension from the top while having access to the spring pin.
+Olivier Gagnon Thanks for checking us out! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
No space from the top
Thank you so damn much
+Codius Ceaser Thanks for checking us out!
Hello, and thanks for the explanation. It is clear and concise, and much appreciated. Are you aware of any years using a different size than the 13/16 for the tensioner? It's far too small for what appears to be on mine (pretty sure it's the right bolt- I see the pin, and it's in the same location as the video).
It's a 1 1/4" wrench for the bigger size.
My 2007 cooper s is 31mm
@@willhuang1 yep, as was on my 2009, I used an adjustable wrench.
@@willhuang1 no it’s ducking not
Mine was a 30mm wrench. Aftermarket tensioners for this mode and year normally use 30mm rather than 21mm / 13/16
friend how tall is the band?
Thanks so much! But the wrench sizes are totally wrong>you need over 1 inch wrench...
Definitely on my base 2010 mini, what size exactly? I was thinking around 28 to 29 mm
Looks like 30 mm
Hello can you guys please answer me right now I’m doing this job rn but I can’t get the water pump pulley to go anywhere and the belt is stuck and idk what to do
The ship is sinkin & the captain is nowhere to be found!
2010 model mini Cooper engine belt number?
Hi When you remove V-belt you should tell us about the part number ,and check the part number with the new one ,not just removed and replace with out checking part number .
cheers
+Esmaeel Esmaeel Thanks for the feedback!
Its not a V belt. Its a serpentine belt.
The wrench to release the tensioner should be 30mm for some Mini Coopers.
+wrathchicken Thanks for checking us out!
+wrathchicken Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely not something you'd do on the side of the road.
Where the pin goes ? Did I mids6
Nice touch with the locking pin. Shame it's a mission to do it yourself.
Well I was gonna help a buddy replace his until I watched this video. Yeaaaah, I think I'm gonna have him go to an actual mechanic. Good video though.
This is about as simple as it gets. 😆
What is the size of the belt on these cars?
+vincent lonbird Thanks for watching! We do not actually have the specs on the belt that was used in the video, but it should be fairly easy to figure out which one you need. There should be markings on the back of your belt to tell you which size it is. It will be formatted like xKxxx. The letter "x" will be a number. You can also call you local dealership with your VIN to find out which one you need! 1aauto.com

@@janimakipaa6230 after one year I'm working on my friend's car again to change the belt "yes I forgot the size" , and you saved me. Thanks gentleman.
Not much working room.
What size is the bolt on the tensioner? My countryman is bigger then the size you say
I can't budge mine, why is this?
What a nightmare design. If any of those screws or nuts / bolts rust up on the plastic wheel arch cover you are screwed. Talk about designed to fail.
Most of those things holding the wheel Arch cover are all plastic, the ones that aren't plastic are hardened steel and mine don't show any corrosion. To clarify your last statement, it's designed to be maintained at a shop.
