We have a new video up on how to rebuild the 1.6L Mini Cooper vacuum pump with the RKX premium vacuum pump rebuild kit. . Stop your Mini vacuum pump from leaking oil and leaving a mess.
The N12 / N14 vacuum pump is a little different than many of the other vacuum pumps. The front cover plate is not a flat cover like most others. Instead it is more of a cup and houses the internal rotating vanes / rotor. This adds a little complexity to the rebuild, but not by much. The most important thing to remember is to not remove the vacuum pump cover plate while it is still on the vehicle. The pump must be removed from the engine in order to disassemble and reassemble it. Once the pump is removed the hard work has been done! Rebuilding the pump is quite easy as you can see in our how to video below.
