Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Silicone Radiator Hose Kit - Mishimoto MMHOSE-TINY-07BK Black, Compatible with Mini Cooper S 2007-2011 by Nikith Brewster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A bit big and no clamps

These hoses seem to be of pretty good quality and fit my 2011 Mini Clubman S well, albeit tightly. They are something larger than OEM hoses so clamps barely fit. I would consider buying new clamps if doing the job again. There's also a hose that I haven't put on yet (I haven't finished the work yet) that I'm not entirely sure how it holds. I'm pretty sure it needs to be cut, but it doesn't look as similar in shape to the OEM hose as the others. It was my fault too, but it wasn't really the hoses I needed. These are all coolant lines for the radiator and most come from the thermostat. At the back there are two lines that I think go to the heat exchanger, I was told. These hoses are not included in this kit so you will need to order them separately if this is your issue. Would give them 5 stars if they came with clamps and two hoses on the back to be able to do a full coolant overhaul. Also, it would be nice, but not essential, to have some sort of diagram showing which hoses go where. I'm new to car maintenance and modding and just needed to figure out which ones had a similar shape.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I don't have much to complain about, everything is fine
