Oops..broke hose connected to coolant. Part number?
Hi guys, was going to change the filter and when pulling out the coolant overflow tank, I broke some hose connector thing and coolant went everywhere. But I was wondering if you guys know what parts I need to buy to fix/replace based on the attached images. Not sure if this is something I can do or if it had to go to the dealer. Part is broken from circled in red.
P.s. Any idea what that thing circled in blue is? Seems like something should be connected there but I found it like that

thank you! I was looking at that but earlier as well but had some difficulty telling which part was the one I broke. I’m thinking it’s the piece in the link below as it has the triple joint piece. Wondering how hard it would be to swap

So you’re definitely right about the part. Unfortunately it just comes as one big thing. I’ll link the part below that’s the correct one I ordered. There’s the diy route too for replacing just the connectors and not the hoses, I’ll attach an image of someone doing that but I have no handy man skills to pull that off.
Ill be attempted to replace the part with what I linked below and will let you know how it goes from the perspective of a car noob that isn’t handy with the help of my dad who is a car noob but is handy. Hope that helped at least a tiny bit!
ive been super bummed not being able to drive my car too! I’ve been lent a 328i in the meantime by my dad which I would’ve been happy about before but now it’s a total bore compared to the Mini.

Thats a pretty good job on the making your own T section out of brass.

Any decent parts store will have these in stock.
I doubt if you can spend $10!

Help! I broke it too!
Well here I was changing the oil and working to pull the oil filter housing out, and *snap* and the T is gone. So I appreciate the brass PEX part number, going to pick that up. However, a few questions as its starting to get dark.
here's what is left of the T not stuck inside the hose
here's the parts with the bits inside
- How do you remove the broken ends inside the hose? I tried quickly with a 90 degree pick, but nothing happened
- Can you remove the plastic "over" ring on the hose which is probably keeping the inner bits in? Should I just try and cut this?

Just happened to me on Countryman.....
I went to change the oil last night - and coolant came gushing out.... so I searched and found this thread - so I figured I would post.....
I used pliers to squish the open hose ends, breaking the plastic insert into pieces - that then fell out.
The plastic ring easily separated from the hose - if it was glued at one point, that glue had long failed....
I bought a brass PEX fitting 1” x 1” x 3/4” and hose clamps - and it all went back together....
see this thread for someone else's pictures - https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hange-oil.html
Hope this helps someone else as these cars get older....

I think the Pex fitting is a quick solution to this failure, but I also believe this is the better long-term solution:
