If anyone is looking for upgrading your coolant system for better reliability. Replacing this plastic 3-way tee with a brass fitting that will permanently fix that crippling problem.
Kit comes with 3 stainless steel hose clamps and 1 brass 3-way tee.
This problem has been noticed on almost every N14/ N18 Mini Cooper with about 60-100k miles that i have worked on ranging from 07-13. This oem plastic tee has left me stranded on the side of the road once and it was a terrible experience hah.
!!! Will require cutting off the black oem compression clamps on the turbo, top of the plastic tee and the back side of the plastic tee going towards the thermostat housing !!!
**30 day return period for any defects or issues. **
