belt change
Hey all, have a friend with a 2002 mini. Was curious how difficult it is to change the drive belt on these guys? I gave it a really quick look and it looked like a PITA. Do you have to remove the whole fender or what? Couldn't get a look underneath, but maybe it is more accessible there?
Also, are these guys prone to coolant loss? Noticed his reservoir was almost dry (He hasn't driven the car in a while)? Probably a bigger problem, but was curious before I begin further diagnostic...
Any walk-through'ish info would be helpful on the belt...thanks
