You suggested 'now is a good time to inspect and change your water pipes...'
Does one need to remove the intake manifold to access/replace the thermostat-to-water-pump plastic water pipe? What's the best method of access to that? __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: MINI Cooper R56 Water Pump Replacement (2007-2011) | Pelican Parts DIY Maintenance Article |

You can remove it without removing the intake, but it's easier to remove it with the intake removed. Here is info on how without removing it if you want to try it out: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/bmw-mini/941467-r56-coolant-thermostat-water-pipe-replacement.html.
