Buying parts for a Mini Cooper is confusing enough with the minute changes in parts/sensors/fittings within the same year of a model. Purchased the incorrect one from a local autoparts that had the wrong sensors, so came here. This one fit perfectly and operates great. All the seals and material build of this looks and feels the same as the original. Make sure if shopping for a thermostat on a Cooper to pay close attention to if the sensors are angled or straight and if there is a bleeder plug included on the housing. This item here was perfect for the replacement.

Bought this to repair my r56 mini after getting a coolant temperature error. It shipped to me quickly and the cost was less than half of what the local autoparts store had. Seems to be the same quality materials as the OEM. The process to replace it was difficult. You have to remove several connectors, hoses and a hard to reach wire clip at to water pump tube, but just 3 bolts to hold the housing.Everything worked perfectly after installation, but you could have ECM errors that will have to be cleared by computer or shop if they do not go away after driving for a while. This is because of the numerous sensor connectors that must be removed during installation. It is important to be patient due to the lack of space in the engine compartment. Make sure that you have a gallon of coolant handy to refill the system. Would definitely buy again.

Exact fit for my wife's 2016 Mini Countryman Base. I also had to buy a flexible hose clamp removal tool from Amazon to remove it, but I saved a bunch of money and am very satisfied with this part.

2012 MINI COOPER S N18Worked perfectly fine for 6000 miles , it failed abruptly (huge crack and leak) today .Will buy OEM

Part fit perfect and fast shipping

2013 countryman S All4. Early 2013 manufacturers date. Worked perfect the first time. You need the harness they mention - if this is the first time replacing it you can leave the existing aluminum elbow with the original temp sensor unplugged or buy a new hose that replaces the elbow the manufacturer made obsolete.

Used to replace the factory housing in a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman. Fit perfectly where the old leaking one came out.

Works well. As with other reviews, these are a PITA to replace. Hint, the clip for the crossover tube can be installed fairly easily from directly above the slot using a long skinny pair of pliers or hemostates.
