RE: Operating Fluids
 

Great stuff! I'm starting up a little Mini Tech section in this forum, and all of these are first on the list! Great job!

RE: Operating Fluids
 

if you guys want a section, let me know. like a DIY section, or whatnot.

RE: Operating Fluids
 

that would be good..........i have access to all of the service and parts bulletins to post on here when i find new stuff or if someone has a technical question.

RE: Operating Fluids
 

what exactly do you do?

RE: Operating Fluids
 

Im a parts/dinan specialist at bmw/mini dealer.

Does anyone know where I can get these fluids in Canada other than the BMW/Mini dealer?

Do you know anything about the automatic transmission code P0700?

1stmini,
Can you tell me if oil overfill - say by about 3/4 of a quart -is potentially harmful? I have a 2011 basemodel hatch. Sorry if I'm addressing this question in the wrong section, but I saw that you are a tech, and this issue has just cropped up.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

I can't find anywhere how much (in Litres) the Power Steering and the Brake Fluid are. This is for an R53 Cooper S, so if anyone could help out that would be great.
