Review on 🔌 Silicone Radiator Hose Kit - Mishimoto MMHOSE-TINY-07BK Black, Compatible with Mini Cooper S 2007-2011 by George Bell

These hoses are great. You will need new hose clamps as these hoses have a slightly thicker outside diameter. It's not that I recommend using OEM spring clamps as they always come off the spring clamp pliers. I ordered red hoses and they look great. I'm 47 years old and could care less about my looks. I ordered this set because it was cheaper than the black hose set. Two things to note: 1. You need to buy a pipe that goes from the water pump to the thermostat if you're changing the thermostat and hoses at the same time like I did. (I've used a forman thermostat. It's been 2 months and so far so good. Just make sure the system is well bled).2. This kit does not include heater hoses. If I remember correctly it has all the other coolant hoses except for the heater hoses and the hoses to the turbo cooler pump. I can be wrong on this and if I'm wrong I will update this review. For orientation, the hose from the thermostat to the coolant line next to it is very short and I had to attach the hose beforehand. Installing a thermostat on the engine. I think the plastic thermostat housing will crack if you try to attach the hose with the thermostat in place.
