FOKES Water Pipe w/O-Ring Water Pump to Thermostat Housing for Mini Cooper Replaces OEM# 11537589713

Great product, fits perfectly on 2012 mini cooper s. Took half a day to replace

Used it on a 2009 mini Cooper S turbo , I own a mechanic shop bought one from my local parts supplier lasted only 6 months , so I figured I would try this one has been working good so far and half of the price

I have a 2011 Mini Cooper s Clubman (N18). Decided to replace the water pipe while replacing the original thermostat that went out. Glad I did, as I learned the end with the o ring was broken. Fits and showing no signs of leaks.

I'm case of emergency and if it's only option then use. This particular product manufacturer has 0 quality control on $20 less than average part. This cooling pipe is critical part to the engine and very expensive job if you are paying a mechanic. The inside images I post are not the best, but trust and believe there is no quality ! I will be returning it when I finish my post. This pipe is under everyday pressure of coolant with temperatures nearly 200 degrees and my first issue I discovered on inspection was poorly made product with thin wall section close to center of pipe. My second concern is excess molding material that will block/reduce flow coolant the engine needs. If you go cheap, which is not always recommended, however there is $22 "BurgaFlex" at Rock auto dot com and it comes with snap ring.

Fits just factory. So far so good. No leaks.
