Question:

Replaced the thermostat housing on my daughter's 2010 Mini S, due to leaking. We are now plagued with engine codes indicating its not running warm enough. An OBD2 reader indicates its running about 65C. The car has been to 2 different shops now, to now avail, 2 different OEM housings, but can't get the engine to run warm enough. I don't know what the 2nd electrical connection (no the temp sensor)on the housing is for, but could it possibly telling the thermostat to remain open. is it possible, the computer has to be told the thermostat was replaced?

Answer:

The second connection on the thermostat housing is for the heating element:
The heating resistor is fitted in the wax element of the thermostat. When the ECM applies power to the heating resistor, the wax element expands and closes the inlet from the cylinder head against the pressure of spring. The spring has the task of pressing the thermostat back into the rest position when the wax element cools down.

Question:

I have a 2011 Mini Cooper non turbo. I’m having problems finding the right thermostat housing. Hoping that you could tell me what is going on, my housing has a flat 4-pin connector on the control valve and a very small diameter temperature sensor that threads in to a small hole in the housing, and has a long lead going to a plug down lower. All of the housings that I can find have a square 2-pin connector for the control valve and a large temperature sensor that is held in with a clip. I have read about a wiring adaptor but don’t know if that is what I need or what adaptor I need any help would be appreciated.

Answer:

It is very possible that the replacement thermostat housing will be different from the one on your MINI since they have updated the design on some models (some models already has the newer housing). The only way to identify the correct replacement for your MINI is by looking up the vin number in the MINI catalog. Your MINI may or may not require an adapter to connect a new thermostat housing to your existing wiring harness. If you send the last 7-digits of your MINI's vin number to [email protected], we can identify the correct replacement as listed by MINI.

Question:

I have a question about the thermostat housing for my MINI Cooper. It has a straight temperature sensor that screws into the top of the housing.

Answer:

Looks like you have the R58 Cooper S Coupe with the N18 engine built in 09/2011.
If the temp sensor on top looks like it can be removed, you can try replacing it with this, but there is another sensor below that is not removable so this may not solve the issue.
You can also try this bypass sensor which fits into the bleed valve, but again, this may or may not solve the problem.
I would recommend you replace the entire thermostat housing:

Question:

I'm ordering the part number #G2NME1129 thermostat housing and have some questions. 1) Does the thermostat come included with the housing? 2) Does the coolant temperature sensor come with the housing? a) If so, will I need anything else? b) If not, will I need an adapter or multiple and which ones? 3) My engine should be N18B16A, is the coolant temperature sensor on the thermostat housing stock or on the upper radiator hose elbow? It's too tight to really get a good look.

Answer:

Thanks for your questions:
1. Yes, the thermostat is molded into the housing, so it is one unit all inclusive
2. Sensors are included with the housing.
3. Let me know the last 7-digits of the vin number to identify the correct replacement thermostat, and whether your MINI requires an adapter or not.

If your MINI has the alloy elbow with the sensor in the radiator hose, that setup has been discontinued and replaced by the new thermostat housing. (Your MINI will probably require an adapter to connect the new design thermostat housing to your existing harness.) You can disconnect the connector at the elbow and tie it off unconnected.

You have the option of leaving that elbow in place (if no leaks are present) or you can replace it with this new hose that eliminates the elbow and sensor.

Question:

I'm looking for the correct thermostat for my New MINI Cooper S. I see that you may require an adapter but i don't know why. can you guide me through?

Answer:

The correct thermostat housing replacement to fit your 2013 R56 MINI Cooper S Hardtop built in 12/20/12 with the N18 engine and automatic transmission is our G2NME1129 with the G2NME1142 Adapter B.

The adapter is necessary for some MINIs because there has been several iterations of the thermostat housing to correct some design deficiencies. These newer housings were designed to fit the newer models which has different electrical harness connections. In order to fit these newer housings in older models with different electrical harness, the adapters are necessary. Otherwise, the electrical plugs would be incompatible. Depending on the production date, the housing and adapter requirements may be different.

I hope this helps.

Question:

I'm trying to replace a thermostat housing in this mini and I'm hesitant to order the housing itself because none of them look like the housing that's in the car. Honestly I'm not even positive what the vehicles engine code is because I don't understand the specification between "hard top" and "coupe" as this vehicle is both. I'm fairly certain this vehicle will require the adapter but any insight would be appreciated.

Answer:

There has been several revisions of the thermostat housing, which is the reason why they may not look like the one in the car. An adapter is sometimes necessary to connect the new style housing to the existing harness. You have a 2012 R56 Mini Cooper S built on 05/28/2012 with the N18 engine and automatic transmission.

The correct replacement thermostat housing according to the MINI catalog is our G2NME1129 with the Adapter A G2NME1141

If you have the elbow with a sensor, that sensor is replaced by a new one in the thermostat housing. You can disconnect it and tie off the connector. The new adapter should take care of the connection to the new housing.

If you want to eliminate that elbow (it can leak over time), here is the replacement hose without the elbow.

Question:

I have a MINI Cooper S 1.6L manual N18 R56 5/2012 the problem that does not turn on the cooling fan for the radiator.

Answer:

It sounds like the radiator fan is not operating. Checked all the fuses.

The radiator fan is controlled by the computer-based on the following inputs:
- engine speed
- load
- driving speed
- intake air temperature
- coolant temperature

If you haven't replaced it yet, the symptoms you describe can be corrected with the replacement of the thermostat housing.

Question:

Hello, I have spent the past week scouring the internet for the proper thermostat for my Mini. I bought one on Monday but the clips were not the same as the original harness. My coolant temp sensor is installed into a 90 degree bend leading into the thermostat housing (not installed in the actual housing) and the harness clip for the thermostat is a 4 pin connector with only two pins. I have tried purchasing an adapter but those did not fit the replacement thermostat I have. If you guys could provide some help/guidance as to why my thermostat seems to be the only one of its kind that would be greatly appreciated as I have run out of options.

Answer:

There has been several design changes to the thermostat housing and coolant temp sensors for your MINI. The replacement may be different from the original.

Thermostat housing - there are a couple different versions and because of these updates, some will require a 'wiring adapter' to connect the updated housing to the existing harness in the MINI.

Temp sensor in the metal elbow - with the updated thermostat housings, this metal elbow with the sensor has been eliminated. When you install the new thermostat housing, you can disconnect the wiring to this elbow and tie it off somewhere safe - it is no longer used. If there is a coolant leak at this elbow (very common), you can replace it with a new coolant hose that eliminates this elbow. <Mini Cooper S Radiator Hose Coolant Hose Oem Gen2 (minimania.com)>

If you provide the last 7-digits of the vin number from your MINI, I can check to see which thermostat housing is the correct replacement and whether it needs a wiring adapter or not.

Question:

I have a UK 2010 R57 MINI Cooper convertible. All application data suggests it should have the G2NME1125 type housing but my car has the G2NME1129 type housing. Can you please suggest which one is the correct one for this model?

Answer:

Yes, a faulty temp sensor sending the incorrect temperature reading is a possible cause for the fan to run after shutdown.
For your Euro model RHD R57 Cooper Convertible with the N16 engine built in 07/2010, the correct replacement thermostat housing is our G2NME1125 with the Adapter Lead G2NME1140.
