Thanks for the video. One comment for everyone. If you take off the top heat shield, O2 sensor, oil dip stick you can pull the alternator right out the top rather than taking off the whole front end of the car. Just remove the top brace and pops right out!

Saves a ton of time and heart ache. Wanted no part in removing the bumper.

Replaced an alternator today on a mini did the same as you dropped the AC pump out they way. the rest was easy to do. Also replaced the tensioner assembly as the pulley was in poor condition together with a new drive belt

Thanks Casey looks so much easier than when they remove the front of the car

[Gboogie]

Thanks for the video, I started dismantling the front end of my countryman before I found your channel. I bought the Chinese version of the tensioner release tool so I didn’t have to jack the engine up. I dropped the Ac compressor out first, I had the the refrigerant removed by a local shop beforehand. There was something wrong with the ac anyway and found that the coil was bad. When I removed the compressor I spilled some of the oil out of it and need to replace. Do you happen to know how much oil and what type of oil is used in the countryman, I can’t find it on the interweb.

I have often wondered if car engineers have a deep seeded hatred for car mechanics? Why engineers? Why? What have we done to earn your contempt/hate? 😳😁

Im up to the part where u have to disconnect the connector going into the alternator and before i break it i thought lemme watch a video. Slipped my finger under the connector and lifted slipped right out. Thank you

Question : We put the key in and the Mini countryman doesn’t start.
Battery is loaded. What could it be? The Alternator?

[elkarim]

Wouldn't that compressor hang with the hoses still attached??? Looks like they is some slack after removing their clamps, just to wingle the alternator out without disconnecting the ac lines ..just asking

[kaathotmailcom]

Hi, helpful video!
Unfortunately I don't have an AC machine, so I'm attempting to get the modular front end to slide forward on the sub frame. I have the two side mounted bolts near the headlight mounts removed, as well as the 4 underside bolts connecting the sub frame. I seem to be stuck in the center. I have 2 16mm nuts removed on either side. Can anyone more familiar with the R60 confirm how many bolts need to be removed in the center to get the front end to slide on the sub frame?


Much appreciated!

i don't understand why to remove AC linies and AC compressor, you can remove de alternator from above and on the bottom you can remove the alternator bolt with a small key, push the AC line and the bold will be out.

[hamiltonsystems]

I had my alternator changed and it’s currently reporting generator missing on the ECU. The garage said drive it for a week for the system to learn about the change, is this right or a fob off?

[marcdesir]

Most video that i have seen so far, don't have to temper with the A/C lines and other parts that you have removed

[lacocheraderubengalland]

Hey Man you dont have to do all that work, check my Chanel, the alternator came out up side, dont have to take off the AC compresor
