There's a pretty good chance that your Mini Cooper Brakes have saved you from injury and possible death on multiple occasions. Any vehicle's braking system consists of several components working together, all of which must be in good condition in order to do the job properly. Fortunately, brake system problems are easy to detect and diagnose.

Automotive braking systems operate on a simple principle of physics. Special hydraulic fluid is forced through tubes (brake hoses) in a sealed environment via a number of cylinders.

Being in this sealed environment allows the fluid to exert considerable force when the pedal is applied. If this sealed environment develops a leak however, the brake petal will begin to feel "soft" or "spongy." You may be able to fix this problem easily by simply adding hydraulic brake fluid to the Mini Cooper master cylinder reservoir. If this doesn't address the issue however, the issue is more serious. Leaks can develop in the brake hoses, brake lines, joints between the two, or in any of the brake cylinders, requiring that these elements be repaired or - more commonly - simply replaced. A different problem is indicated when your Mini Cooper brakes begin to emit a high-pitched squeal whenever you step on the pedal. Aside from being both annoying and embarrassing, this means your brake pads are wearing out and need to be serviced soon. If not serviced in a timely manner, major (and expensive) damage to the brake rotor could result (in fact, a "grinding" sound means the brake pad is completely gone). Fortunately, keeping your Mini Cooper brakes working is easy and affordable with our large inventory of genuine Mini Cooper parts.Order your today!
