Where is the fuel filter on a mini clubman diesel?

There are 3 possible locations for the fuel filter on a 2011-2015 Mini Cooper Clubman diesel variant:

1. Below the car, near the fuel tank.

2. In the engine compartment, near the firewall.

3. Underneath the rear seat(requires partial fuel system disassembly). If under the seat:

• Raise and support the vehicle.

• Disconnect the wiring harness clip(s).

• Remove the fuel supply line by carefully prying the connection apart with a flat-bladed screwdriver. Note that fuel may spill.

• Remove the fuel return line in the same manner.

• Remove the old filter.

• Install the new filter with an arrow facing the front of the car. You should feel a “snap” when the line snaps into place.

• Reinstall fuel lines and electrical connectors.

• Lower the vehicle.
