NOTES:

  • Due to some initial design issues, the Thermostat Housing has evolved through several iterations. Temperature Sensors are located on the housing and can be removed on some versions of the housing, and molded into the housing on other versions. Since the wiring harness and the type of Temperature Sensor changed thru the iterations, the replacement Thermostat Housing (which may look different than the one on the car) may require a 'Wiring Adapter' in order for proper connection to the wiring harness on the car.
  • If your MINI has an alloy 'right angle' elbow in the upper radiator hose with a temperature sensor, the updated thermostat housing will replace this elbow with sensor. You can eliminate this elbow with a new one-piece radiator hose.

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.
