Good morning everyone,

I have a 2003 MCS it has 93k miles on the clock and although the supercharger is in good condition i.e no bearing noise or other strange sounds i would prefer to have another supercharger in my hands ready for when this one starts to show signs of wear etc.

Does anyone on here recommend any companies for either new or reconditioned superchargers for the MCS

Much appreciated :D

Nick

May be a useful link below.......Supercharger Oil Service
Quote:
"W11 engine supercharger has two oil reservoirs. One on the front of the super charger below the drive pulley. One on the rear behind the water pump. Each is covered separately."

MINI W11 engine uses an Eaton supercharger. MINi does not recommend oil services, therefore no oil is available through MINI parts. General Motors uses a similiar Eaton supercharger and their oil can be substituted. GM Part numer 12345982.

This article describes 2002-2006 MINI Cooper S Supercharger Oil Service:
