    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Germans do not transpose the numbers, your build date is 09/08, you should have an 08 model year.

    RealOEM will have the part number you need. Enter the last 7 characters in your VIN, the diagrams will no be specific to your car. RealOEM.com * Diagram Selection Is for your A/C Compressor.

    Please see Placing 2nd Gen MINIs into Service Mode - Library found in the Motoring Alliance Library

    It is a 2009. Thats why we are confused. I thank you for your reply. I was so hoping not to have to take the front end off. Thats kinda crazy but it is what it is I suppose. Thanks again, Mike
