Mini Cooper S N14 engine coolant pump replacement. I try to capture a step by step instructional video on how to properly and easily change the water pump on the Mini Cooper S with the turbo. A lot of videos show removing many parts within the engine bay, but I decided to take a slightly different route and access the water pump through the wheel arch and without removing the friction gear/wheel. This may not give you as much space to work with, but allows you to replace the pump without removing any unnecessary components.
