Thanks for the video. My 2010 Mini Clubman JCW is leaking coolant again. We've had the thermostat housing replaced and later the water pump and friction wheel and solenoid. Now dripping off the transmission towards the middle. And my wife and I have 2 Minis. Ugh We bought the 2010 Clubman JCW in 2013 with 43000 miles. Clutch went at 52K, $3500 for new clutch and flywheel. Replaced the thermostat housing, new valve cover, new water pump and friction wheel. Then the oil leak. Had to replace the gaskets in the oil filter housing. And the mechanic that fixed that (shout out to Alpine Motorsports in Norman Oklahoma) informed me that the turbo's blow off valve is loose. Now it is leaking coolant again. Better luck so far with our 2012 Inspired by Goodwood model. Only have had to replace the thermostat housing, but it was a big issue and Mike at Alpine had to do some research to get the right parts. As much fun as these cars are to drive I could not recommend that anyone buy one.
Thank you so much for this, my coolant has been leaking the past two days, pretty sure water pump is banged, and could've messed up the thermostat, should I get all new hoses?
Yeah, this would be good to know which one he used. I bought the Astro complete kit, but it doesn't come with the Mini adapter according to the paperwork in the kit. He appears to be using the purple one, which the manual says is for Mercedes...
Hi Hello my it's 2009 cooper none turbo I not sure where my coolant leak coming from, help front of the engine behind the exhaust manifold next to the upstream O2 I can see like a pinhole

Hello there thank you so much. My coolant water leaks too as well as my engine oil. What would have caused this to happen?
If its leaking oil check the break booster. The gasket might be bad
Love your videos man. Took the bullet and cashed out on this kit definitely worth it imo. How is your kit holding up?
joshua aguilera Glad you like the video. I’ve had mine for a couple years now with no problems.
Please tell me where you found the adapter and what is the part number?

My MINI's collant leaks at the exact same spots. Could you please tell me what was the issue with your one ?
K D most of the time oil leaks from the valve cover will leak down onto the thermostat housing and cost to seal to swell in leak
Thanks
Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for watching!!

I had to go back and watch the video. That noise you’re hearing is a CrossFit gym and they’re slamming weights
@@HowtoAutomotive hahahahah.... ok.....
Now I have to ask though.. "Adam Sandler throwback"
Is that people lifting weights.... or having sex
