Is it ok to use other brands of CHF-11S fluid ?
Awesome video !
Jus had one come to the shop and wasn’t familiar with them ...never knew where the pump was lol until I researched. But great video !
@@gadzi1997 in the video he said he doesn't recommend that
@@realkevintorres im driving 4 months now with other brand, there is no difference ...
I can't understand why anyone would downvote any of your videos, this is the best resource I've found anywhere for working on my cooper s, thank you
My power steering pump just went on my 03 cooper S ( as of Oct 22 2015) . My local mech. diagnosed and said $1500 for pump and fan assembly. After my wife resuscitated me I steamed to youtube to watch a DIY video on the pump replacement. Saw this vid and learned about the ext warr. My warranty is set to exp this Jan but thanks to this vid, I'm bringing it to the dealer tomorrow for replacement under warranty. Thank you, thank you so much for the 411, having a drink to you right now brother.
Nice to watch a video with commentary, not music.
I'm really bad at B roll so nobody gets any
Great howto, helped me a lot! I was able to repair the pump for like 10 bucks, completely disassembled, cleaned it and soldered new capacitors.
This is one of the best "how to videos" I've seen in quite sometime. Good job. One of my clients has a mini Cooper and this video was straight forward and the visuals were great. Clean car, clean shop and no unnecessary rambling from the mechanic. Definitely a subscriber.
A great video. I watched twice, made step by step notes in Word (25 steps), and felt fully briefed. Thank you for taking your personal time and making this video.
I don't know if it was there before and i just didn't notice it but I clicked on the tip icon and dropped some in there. I've watched many of your videos including the clutch one right before I did mine and it was a life saver. Thank you for posting these and people whenever you can please support informative RUclips channels like this.
Thank you for your support!!
Sad news... totaled my r53 this week. Sad week. Till i found a nice R53 for sale cheap cheap due to bad power steering pump. Quick little swap with the help of yet another amazing MOD MINI vid tutorial and BOOM! Back on the road with a newer, less miles, cheaper, better mini!!! Cant believe thats a $400 part! Good thing i had one sitting on a dead mini in my driveway! Thanks again for your amazing work!!!
Cutting the hole into a slot helps a lot. I disconnected the pipes then pulled the unit out and the disconnected the electrics,
Mod mini videos are the best, still going back to them whenever I have a job on my MINI.
You are too awesome! This was very informative! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the mini videos. It keeps more minis on the road . Keep making them for the R50, R53. Thanks.
Brilliant clear video, thank you for taking the time to make this and post it :0)
I have done this myself, and your instructions are very good and well thought out, thank you for putting this up.
Thanks for a well done and informative video. Ordered the part... installed with your direction. Saved me $1200. Tight spaces... sore nuckles (tough getting that first hose off!), but otherwise job was exactly as described on your video. Much appreciated!
Thank you for this. Did this job with the help of this video. Don’t think I would have found the two bolts at the back without it. Much appreciated.
I just wanted to say thanks for this vid. I changed the power steering pump in my '04 Cooper S referencing this video and the guide on Pelican Parts. But thanks for such great series of videos.
Your videos are super helpful. I just bought a 2004 Mini for a project car and I used this video for the pump replacement! Thanks a pile and cheers!
This was excellent. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Hi Everyone, This is an excellent video. My experiences with replacing the pump on my R53 are worth flagging up for anyone considering this job themselves. What I found is that it is best if the electrical connections (the power and the signal cables) are connected before fitting the pump. The amount of room to fit the power connection especially is very limited and it is vital it is inserted fully, otherwise the pump just won't work. Second, is to connect the hose to the reservoir after installation, with copious amounts of a lubricant such as vaseline. The hose is a tight fit and will not slide unless well lubed. Mine was a new hose by the way. Also, ensure worm drive clips face in a direction that will allow tightening a a later date - to cut off any leaks. Also, talking about leaks, do remember to fit a new O-ring to the high pressure line connection. Last, I can recommend the refurbished pump from North Castle, UK (via e-bay). Reasonable price, backed up with first class customer service. 5* people.
I have changed my power steering pump last week after watching your video. It is a great video and shows all the steps. Thank you
Great job on the video! it helped my son and i do the job actually had fun doing it,still waiting for the pump to show we are replacing the lines as well, they leak real bad. I am a mechanic by trade but you are our go to guy! for mini work
Great help for being new to mini. Thanks from Norway 🇳🇴
MOD MINI provides very detail and helpful videos for the DIY's out there.
Man, you are the bomb!!!! My mini is covered under the warranty!!!
So helpful. New pump installed A+
Long ago there was a question about replacing the high pressure side hose on the R50 Mini. I couldn't find any videos of it but I thought I would post my experience with this in the hopes that someone is looking at your excellent video for ideas....
This weekend I replaced my HP tube. When I looked carefully, it appeared as though I could access everything without removing the pump. Indeed this is the case. All one needs to do is:
1. suction out as much hydraulic fluid as possible (covered in your video)
2. jack up the car
3.remove the front left wheel
4. Remove the return line and high pressure line from the cylinder, accessing these through the front left wheel well. An offset socket extension will be required for this
5. remove the HP support bracket (remove the steering cylinder nut and heat shield nut). This is accessed from the top of the engine just below the oil filter
6. Remove the HP fan from below the car (covered in your video)
7. remove the HP line bolt from the pump and pull the HP fitting off of the pump
8. remove the now completely free HP line. This is fairly easily accomplished through the left wheel well.
9. Reverse all of the above for installation.
I put a plastic bag onto my HP line's cylinder fitting while installing the line just to keep junk out from falling into the open fitting (the pump side had a cap). I think this is a good idea but I don't think it was actually necessary in my case.
Anyhow, again, thank you for the great series of videos. They have been especially helpful to me as I slowly get into doing work on the car. I had $3000 of labor that was quoted by my dealer and it is more than the car was worth. This was for a valve cover gasket, upper mount, lower mount, HP hose and control arm bushings. So far everything is done except for the control arm bushing. I'm using PowerFlex for each of the bushings and I have yet to really run into a big problem. I'm also moving ahead which replacing the ball joints seeing as I have to take the wishbone off anyhow and the car has 118K on it (purchased with 98K so I don't know the history before that... I'm assuming they are original).
Again, thanks for the help! Hopefully my post here will give someone insight on how to easily replace the high pressure line.
YES, Thank you!!! I'm assuming the process is the same for all of the 1st gen Mini's. I will be tackling that job within the next week or two.
You're videos are great you've helped me on so many occasions keep up the great work
Warwick Adams I'm glad they are helpful - thanks for watching!
Thanks for the post! Saved me about a grand!
Thanks! I was able to fix the steering pump by watching your video. The hardest part for me was to take the pump out. I also struggled with some of the wire connectors which got stuck behind the pump, and so had to loosen the pump again. I unfortunately had no bridge to use, that will make the job much easier. Thanks again for the effort to share this. 🙏
Great video. Very clear instructions including the camera work with explanations. I had mine replaced, but a few months later it was intermittent. Really fun when parking. Turns out it was NOT the pump. My battery was weak and not holding a charge so when the engine drops to idle while parking, the voltage is too low to run the pump. Changed battery and no more problems, until the pump was 12 mos old and 3 DAYS!!! Guess how long the warranty is... That's right, one year.
Sir, forever thank you for making videos like this! I find it funny how my mechanic wanted to charge me almost 2 hours of labor at $100/hour and in this video you did it in ~10 minutes.
+bryandPR The video is not realtime. The actual job time is between 30mins-2hrs depending on level of experience etc.
Love the video, very informative and easy to understand. You made it look very simple. Awesome work
Excellent tutorial, made the change much easier. :) Thanks a lot.
This video helped me a lot thank you!
ModMINI Thank you for all your videos! I just purchased a 2003 r53 and had concerns that the power steering pump was original and had not been replaced during the manufacture recall. I called MiniUSA and they verified that it was still under warranty even though it was 15 years old and had 115k. They said the recall did not have a expiration. Local dealer replaced at no charge. FYI for you and your views. Thanks again for all your shared knowledge and work.
Discovered your vids this evening - top notch stuff. One thing I noticed from a safety view point: I'd recommend chocking the rear wheels.
Thank you. Really well presented. I've got to do this job tomorrow. I now feel confident. Subscribed.
I work in a junkyard as a parts puller, video helped, found it easier to cut the hydraulic lines, the fittings didn’t want to come off
thanks your vid helped me take off the pump and now waiting for the replacement. thanks
kevin smith Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant and easy to follow ,our mini's steering has just gone ,checked fluid ,which was low ,so topped it up ,and no different ,so having worked on all my own cars ,it didn't look too bad in the first place ,but having this to follow makes it look easy ,thanks for the video
Could be bad pump
@@ModMINI probably why I looked at how to replace pump then
Brilliant well explained video, many thanks from the UK.
A good tip, if you have rear parking sensors and they stop working, don't ignore it. For some odd reason the power steering pump cooling fan and the parking sensors share the same fuse. If the power steering pump cooling fan gets jammed and gunked up it blows the fuse.
Handy video, thanks!
Just had my power steering pump fail on a 2005. After watching your video I confidently removed it. I am certainly no mechanic. It came out without a problem.
Thank you for your efforts in putting the video together. (Tony in. Australia)
Further to my initial post. I ordered the parts and followed your tutorial. Finished the job in a couple of hours. Very pleased with my efforts. Thank you for taking the time to put this video guide together. This is the biggest job I have ever done a car. 👍👍
The quality of your videos is great!, your explanaition, the imagen, i enjoy your videos a lot, you are a teacher, lol! .
Thanks for watching!
Very cool. Thanks! I'm going to use your video as a guide when I replace my leaky PS hoses.
Great video, helped me a lot thank you, Keep up the fantastic work..
Great video dude. Thanks a lot ✌🏾️
You're videos are great and very helpful keep up the great work thank you
Thanks for watching!
Very Clear, step by step video.
Thanks a lot for your video! i fixed my steering pump without any problem! Regards
Great video, i'll be doing this job as soon as i get the parts. Thanks.
Amazing my mini one 02 pump went and this video was a great help so we could fit it our selves.
Thanks man. Very informative.
your videos are awesome! Thank you!
Excellent vid my man, so good, when the mid roll add came on, I went to the toilet and let it play.
I've been driving my mini without power steering for about a year now. It's not the easiest in town or crowded parking lots but then again I grew up driving my dad's 70 nova and that didn't have power steering either. It takes getting used to but after seeing this video I think I'll put a new pump and fan in once I get the money to do it this summer. Great video tho thanks for sharing!
A Gravel is that dangerous? Not having power steering in a car that comes with power steering?
How obvious is it if the power steering isn't working? I'm slightly suspicious mine isn't quite right but having not driven any other R53 I'm not sure how it should feel!
@@Murmur2kit’ll be really tough to turn corners, we just had my daughters ps pump and fan replaced and I’ve ordered a cover plate from Madness Motorworks for the fan. (That’s what caused the huge bill)
Really helpful video - thanks so much. Just successfully completed the job and the power steering is good again.
What was it doing before? Mine drives fine but has a loud whine when idling. TIA
Very informative! Thank you.
Great tutorial. Thank you for making this video
Great straight forward and understandable video. Thanks
Doing my steering delete tomorrow morning, man this vid helped with prep
that works for me. hahaha thanks. Thanks again for all your How to Videos.
to the point,,no ,silly comments,, Great Thanks for the information tutorial..all the best.cheers fae Aberdeen Scotland.
Well presented...thanks
great video. very helpful
nice clear and informative video...thanks really helped
Very informative thank you sir
very very clear the procedure, thanks for this help
Just got my old pump out thanks to this video!
The big hose was *really* hard to get off (yes, I did remove the clamp first), I ended up unscrewing the pump first, pulling it half out and pulling on the pump itself to separate them.
Tomorrow the new one will go on!
Just had to do something similar - prying the hose open with a slim screwdriver. What a PITA!
@@graemesayer3068 I only got a small amount of power steering fluid in my mouth, and the new pump has been working great for a year now, so I'm calling that a win ^_^
@@chrissugg968 Better luck than me. Have fitted replacement and had to swap battery as that was dead. As soon as it got power the 'new' pump is spinning, so looks like the controller has gone in that one. Got it out faster the second time. Have to hope I can get a refund from the breakers.
Your vids are great. Very clear. You also explain some basic stuff that Bentley overlooks, but is very important, like how to jack up the car and put it on jack stands.
Garth Goldberg Thanks for watching! That's the value of the 'mechanics-eye-view(patent pending)' presentation style. :-)
Nice video - thank you!
Very helpful information and nice presentation.
Very helpful thanks bud!
Fantastic video!
Excellent videos thanks.
Awesome video. Thanks :)
Thanks alot! Great video.
Very helpful thanks
Great Vid ty
GREAT VIDEO !
Great video thanks mate
Just got a text from the local Mini dealer : your car (2003 Cooper S) has a safety recall. I called and they said it is for the steering pump...…. I told them I had already replaced it; it was beyond the extended warranty; and they said I had to bring it in so they could get the serial number from the pump and take the recall off the VIN. No mention of reimbursement at all. So if any owners of these model years haven't been contacted yet; call your local dealer and enquire about it.
I replaced the pump with the help of your videos. Lots of tips !! Thanks !
I've heard different stories about warranty extensions. SO yeah.
Mini extended the warranty on the steering pump for 13 years; mine didn't go bad till AFTER that time. But, apparently now it is being considered a safety recall.
You are master :)
Greetings from Poland
Great video thank you!
Thank you sir!
Great explanation.
I had no fan... (Belgium), but the rest was the same.
Thank, you.
Good work amigo !!
Thanks man your great
Hi, great tutorial which has helped me a lot. One point though is that on Mini Cooper in UK there is NO cooling fan fitted as standard as it was not deemed necessary! only on automatics and Cooper S models as they ran hotter apparently. I was shocked to see no fan or wiring for the fan when I removed the pump and assumed the previous owner had removed it and cut the wires off. Fuming for about an hour until I found this out on a forum. Keep up the great work!
Good tip!
We have just found that our 2008 mini clubman has no fan either??? Does this mean we'll be replacing PS pumps forever???
My job tomorrow...thank you!!!
Very helpful...thanks
Great Video. My step daughters 2003 Mini has the power steering fault but we are in England so it's not covered under warranty ! With this Video I may just have a go myself. Cheers.
It's messy job but not terribly difficult to replace.
Great video my friend... Thanks
This is a great video.. massively appreciated! But for me I struggled to get the hose off the pump. In the end after 30 mins of struggling I disconnected the hose from the reservoir in the engine bay and dropped that with the pump. It was a much easier task once I did.
They have gotten tough with age. Probably best is to buy a replacement hose and cut the old hose off with a sharp blade.
Superb, thank you
Great video helped a ton! I had to replace the all the hose’s would be good content if you done a video on that!
Very good video
Figured out the noise.. need new hub and bearing assembly. Dang. Now I’m gonna look up your video on that one. Wish me luck... :/
What's up guys MOD MINI IS AMAZING!!! Hey just wanted to add that Mini USA DID Honor the pump recall and my 03 mini has 203k so it's worth asking if not use this video to fix he knows his stuff
Best mini cooper text out their
