What is a Mini Cooper thermostat housing?

The thermostat housing covers and protects the engine thermostat of your car. It can be made of plastic, aluminum, or pot metal on older cars. Coolant flows throw the housing. On newer Mini Coopers the thermostat housing is integrated with the thermostat. You therefore replace the entire unit if the housing is damaged.

What does a Mini Cooper thermostat housing cost?

PartsGeek.com has great prices on Mini Cooper thermostat housing, starting at $40 and running up to $68. Price will depend upon brand, year of car, and if it is an integrated thermostat housing unit.

When is it time to change the thermostat housing?

An early warning sign that your thermostat housing is damaged may be an overheated engine, particularly in the first 15 minutes of running your car. If you notice a coolant leak around the housing this could indicate your integrated unit is stuck in the closed position and that coolant is not flowing. Of course, coolant on the ground is a bad sign, too. Abnormal spikes and drops in your Mini’s temperature is another indication that all may not be well with your thermostat housing. The average lifespan of thermostat housing on a Mini is 55,000 miles. If your ride is close to that number, give the part a look.
