MINI: Electric Hydraulic Pump Failure

MINI: Electric Hydraulic Pump Failure

While a failed electric hydraulic pump on the 2002-2007 MINI is easy to diagnose, the culprit behind the failure is not. It can be the pump itself or an overheating external fan. Both of these units are located below the exhaust manifold where they are exposed to extreme heat and debris.

crp-mini-hydraulic-pump-failureWhile a failed electric hydraulic pump on the 2002-2007 MINI is easy to diagnose, the culprit behind the failure is not. It can be the pump itself or an overheating external fan. Both of these units are located below the exhaust manifold where they are exposed to extreme heat and debris. Over time, the hoses also tend to degrade and can add impurities to the hydraulic fluid, causing the pump to fail. To make problems worse, the OE pump is in constant demand and backorders are frequent at the dealer.

To combat these issues, CRP Automotive has developed a repair kit using key Rein Automotive and AAE components. The new MINI Cooper EHPS Master Kit, Part No. 7000KH, will get the job done completely and help technicians save extra time and money looking for parts and making the repair.

The repair kit features a high-quality remanufactured pump with over 80% new and fully tested electrical components, a new OE fan, high-pressure hose, reservoir line hose and return hose with all of the correct clamps and washers. Visit www.crpautomotive.com for more info.

Zero toe angle is present when both tires are parallel to the center thrustline.

How can a mysterious case of tire wear occur in a perfectly aligned vehicle? It happens and the answers aren’t always simple. To better explain, let’s go back a few decades when I aligned a 1983 Mitsubishi RWD pickup, only to have it return a month later with a tire scuffing complaint. Although the outside edge of the right front tire showed evidence of toe-related wear, the current toe angle was 0.100 inches, which is within the Mitsubishi’s +0.080” to +0.350“ specification.
