Venerable Mini enthusuasts,

As a new owner of an aging (2007) Mini, trying to identify various parts visible under the hood, I am perplexed by the following two *****/caps and their respective function.



Also, is there such a thing as a comprehensive parts diagram for various pieces found under the hood and beyond, short of investing in a very pricey Mini Service manual?

Glad to be on this forum,
--Ivan

 

Never mind folks, found the a answer myself. Apparently, these are ports (High and Low) for charging the Air Conditioner.

A labeled diagram of the engine bay would still be nice though
