2008 Mini Cooper Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mini's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mini Cooper? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Cooper towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Cooper is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Cooper transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mini Cooper’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mini. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
