- How to replace remove the thermostat on a BMW Mini. Model seen is a 2001 Mini Cooper R50. Video by Mark's Garage. You will need to drain the coolant, remove the air filter housing, battery, ECU, and battery tray. How to install.
Excellent, really comprehensive steps, well described and with confidence. One of the best car maintenance videos I have ever seen. Thanks!
Best edited car maintenance vid on you tube! Thank you !!!
Thanks so much I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the video!
Just finished doing job. Thanks pal appreciate it saved me few quid! Top 1
No real need to drain the coolant, I changed mine and housing very easily (with a magnet to catch that bottom nut). I just placed a bucket to catch the spill from cracking the housing-maybe a cup was in there if not less. Good video though.
Very helpful for future reference 👏 👌
Cars: Need to replace the thermostat? cool, remove the housing to access the thermostat. Depending on position, you may or may not need to drain the coolant, make sure to bleed it after!
Minis: Need to replace thew thermostat? Have fun buddy., make sure to remove half the engine first lololol
German engineering. Performance with no second thought on maintenance.
My previous car, a volvo v40 t4 had two screws to change the thermostat. Took all of 2 mins. This I now have to do in the R50 mini. Utterly ridiculous amount of work.
Both pretty low IQ comments. Maybe consider the actual cars design and thus limited room. Sheesh, even my young son could work that one out. What worries me is how you both managed to obtain your driving licences given the amount of stupidity you have demonstrated. 😂😂😂
Hi. Thanks for the video. Big help! I hava a leak around the thermostat housing on my 2003 R50. I will try changing the gasket. I have read that they are a common failure on the R50.
Well explained but unfortunately the lighting isn’t good enough.
Buen video para quemar tu mini. No dice que una vez hecho el cambio y relleno, hay que purgar el circuito y extraer el aire.
Thanks for the video, you're help me a lot 👍
Great video...Thank you.

Why did you change the thermostat?! I have a problem on the radiator cap next to the thermostat and now water comes out from the radiator expansion coolant tank. Can you please help me.
hi I was wondering dose this model have the one bleed screw to bleed the air from the system or dose it have two if so where is. it located
Just did this again because my stat was open and wouldn't allow the car to warm up especially when it's 11 outside. This time only about a quarter cup came out.
Good video
I have the same engine, can you please let me know if this mini has a mass airflow sensor? If so where is it located? Thanks.
Idk if its any help anymore, but its right beside the throttle body
Same here .I have changed it and now just turning no start
hi bro is use g11 or g12? thanks
it is possible to remove the thermostat and walk without it?
You can but the car will take a while to get hot and because of that you will run rich
Great video. But I'm in trouble. Yesterday changed the thermostat everything went smooth. But.... Car won't start now. Turns very well but no start. Any ideas?
Check ECU connection!! I am sure u broke something when u took them off
Did you ever figure it out? Mine is doing the same thing
Very good. Do you still have the Focus?
What was the problem in the first place? Thanks
I can't remember, I think it was running hot / odd coloured coolant.
Tu change le carlostat tu te retrouve limite à une dépose moteur .quel mer.... cette marque
