hey guys, just joined in hopes some of you experts can help me figure out a part # / part name?
i'm about 60% through Thermostat replacement on my wife's 2015 Countryman All4S.
Got the P0597 error code/check engine light (thermostat stuck open?)
so i decided to go ahead and replace it and try to save few hundred bucks vs what the dealers wanted.
i watched bunch of walkthrough videos, and went for it. took everything apart, replaced Thermostat, and am 30% done with putting everything back together. but had to PAUSE to try and figure out two plastic parts i broke so i can find a replacement.
i tried googling, but no luck. so hoping few experts on here can help me out figure out part names/numbers and where to source them
out of two that i broke, one is really just a plastic housing that helps keep all the wiring above the Thermostat in one place, and ultimately i can use few zip ties to secure it all and it shouldn't be an issue.
Now the more important part that i'm not sure what to call, is the housing for the sensor that i broke outside clip on, so not sure what to do here.

Hard to explain so thought i'd attach pictures.
Small housing that i broke the clip off on is circled in YELLOW on one of below pictures, its one of the wires connected to the EDU wiring harness. Fuse/Sensor inside after i pulled broken half off seems fine, but now i have no way of connecting it back in its original spot.
Inside the Part there were few numbers/letters: PBT-GF20

and other bigger plastic part is just the Plastic base that snaps in with 2 long clips into top of Thermostat housing and all the wires were zip tied to it on top. well while trying to pry it out (its 10F here in Colorado, so very cold in the garage, and i wonder if hard plastic just decided to crack on me because of being in cold temp?) , so while trying to disconnect it up from THermostat i snapped both of the long clips. i do think i could zip tie this back on top of THermostat and it would be OK, but if i can figure out replacement part, i'd rather replace it.
this part has some SKU"s/Barcodes and Numbers on it:
Sticke on the side:
PCI 8605896 EA2953b
inside the part it's stamped with
1251 7613124
V 761312480
107789-10
Germany
>PA66<

if anyone has any ideas, i would really appreciate it, as i'm going to let the car sit disassembled for few days.
thank you.

 

Hello,

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=12_1432

All i can see is the bracket next and holds the ECU/fuse box.

Do you have anymore pics?

 

thanks for reply.
1. that plastic tray that goes under wires/top of thermostat since it were just clips i just zip tied it and put it all back together, so dont worry about it (but i'd buy it if i can find it as well)
2. that other Socket/Housing for that sensor (it actually looked like 7.5fuse) connects to whatever part the ECU/Fuse box is sitting on top of. i can take few better pictures when i get home and post them up.
thanks

 

actually using your links i did some digging around and i think i found the right diagram, but it still doesnt show what the end cap is.
https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=12_1399
its circled here: so whatever that end sensor/fuse is, it snaps into little housing/cover that is then easily connected to bracket under fuse box so it stays put. thats the part/clip i broke in that plastic housing while trying to disconnect all of the wiring.
so at the moment as i put everything back together, i also just zip tied it in place, but ideally i'd like to get the proper part

thanks again.

 

The small housing with the "few letters/number" just refers to the material. PBT-20GF is likely Polybutylene terephthalate with 20% glass fiber

The plastic base, based on the info you provided is 12-51-7-613-124. This MINI part number doesn't come up in my version of ETK, so likely it is not serviceable and the only way to purchase is the next higher level (complete engine wiring harness). Your local dealer would likely need to submit a parts support ticket to confirm if you can / cannot purchase that base separately.

Taking the parts off a used engine harness may be an option.

 

As for your fault, that generic code can have several meanings. A tool that provides detailed BMW/MINI codes would provide more info.

 

thanks Blazing E60,
i finished putting everything back together, refilled cooland system, cleared that one code, and everything seems to be working as it should
**i ended up just zip tying that loose housing to original spot and it is holding solid.
**but i also already looked up U-PULL junk yard that has same model in their inventory, so next time i pass by there i will swing in and see if i can just pull this tiny small plastic housing part.
****this has been the most complicate technical job i've done on a vehicle so far.

i finally took it out on some sprinted canyon drive today, kept OBDII plugged in to monitor ECT (coolant temp) since these MINI's dont have a Temp gauge.
Coolant temp sits right in that 195-215F range, anytime under heavy throttle when ECT would go up to around 220ish, system did its thing and temp comes right back down, i did highway/city/on-off ramps, etc to test all the different loads/coasting and its functioning great.
No more error codes, no leaks anywhere that i could find, etc.
thanks again for trying to help.
