Electric Power Steering Pump Replacement


Old, constantly running electric power steering pump...


1 hour and 40 minutes later a newly installed electric power steering pump.


Had an on again, off again very minor coolant leak. Traced it to a gasket that historically caused these leaks in earlier Minis.  New gasket is entirely silicone.


Changed the air and oil filters while I was at it.  Mini gets the "European Blend" type Castrol (yeah, right).


The newly installed electric pump gets only German made hydraulic oil (Again, yeah, right).


Since Mini was such a brave girl today I gave her a new sticker (via the First Mate) :)

  2. 17,000 more miles and I'll find them. Only touch them every 100,000 miles.
