Review on Thermostat Housing with Sensor and Gasket for Mini Cooper R55 🔧 R56 R57 Countryman (2007-2013) - Part# 11 53 7 534 521 902-812 by James Kelley

I haven't installed this thermostat so I have no idea if it's any good. I gave 5 stars because it looks good and is well made. Now the reason I didn't put it on - the connections for two sensors on the thermostat housing looked different than mine. I went to a local supplier and was told that the shape of the plugs is different depending on what month of 2013 the car was made. If you are purchasing this item for a 2013 Cooper, please first check the shape of the sensor connectors on your vehicle and compare to the pictures. Only one needs to be checked since two have the same shape. Mine is oval and this is a rounded rectangle.
