R53 MINI Cooper S Supercharger Whine, Oil, Rear Main Seal Replace, Inspect, Service, Tips,17%

Describes the method I used to service the Supercharger after 100K miles. Including rear main seal replacement.

Yes there is a flyby "movie" :D of the post fix supercharger whine!

Centered mostly on actions to the supercharger itself and a few tips and tricks as well. This is not "rocket science" the majority of fasteners are 3-4 bolts except the front. I know you don't want to watch a guy remove fasteners! I would say that someone experienced at wrenching should tackle this; it is not overall complicated work.

No emphasis on "mini repair mode" where the front bumper cover and bumper etc are removed prior to major service

If you did trash your rear gears, you could likely go to an electric water pump and do the repairs here, instead of paying out for a new or refurbished Supercharger. Simply remove the lower gear or the one attached to the PTO put it all together and install electric water pump.

Tensioner Stop, 17% pulley upgrade, Waterpump, PTO, CR6213, Eaton, M45
