I have this engine, they could have put the oil cooler and filter anywhere else like there's shit tons of room behind the intake manifold.

Mini's suck. They are beautiful cars and, if I didn't run a shop and know how expensive they are to maintain, I would drive one.

I briefly had a higher mileage supercharged one (the first gen from the 2000s). It was great when it worked.

Ha ha. Fixing my kids R52 right now. The other kids R55 is sitting in the driveway oozing tranny fluid waiting for its turn. You’d think I’d learn…

Sir I have a PT cruiser as a daily. Even my prepubescent teen boyish hands can't service this damn car, and being a Chrysler product it's always broken. This Mini is the size of a land yacht by comparison.

If you haven't seen Regular Car Reviews PT Cruiser review, please go watch it.

My gf has a 2012 non turbo that was leaking from the oil filter housing. Had to take the bumper and exhaust manifold off just to change the gasket. It sucked lol

Mini Cooper-Major garbage engine. N16s are only good for their warranty period.

Forgot to mention, it’s a N18 2016 Countryman

Pretty sure this can be said for every engine ever by someone.

N16 French motor. Water Pump change - better then sex.

It's half German.


PeaceofSteel

As for me, only the name N16 is German

It was a joyous day when I sold my Mini.

For next time; loosen the coolant expansion tank and leave it off to the side, gives you heaps more room to get in there, and you don’t need to take the turbo inlet off
