Hey everyone,

I have a 2007 Mini Cooper S r52 and I'm having trouble finding the part number for the top hose attachment that connects to the radiator. I've checked all the usual online sources, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I really don't want to buy the whole radiator assembly as it's in good condition and I'd prefer to just replace the attachment.

Does anyone know the part number for this specific attachment or where I can find it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Below I attached a photo from Google of the part that I'm looking for:

Conclusion: you're out of luck, there is no separate parts number for this part, you have to buy the whole radiator assembly.
If you ever find a compatible part, please share the knowledge though!

 

Thank you for the fast reply!

That's a bummer, but I guess I'll have to buy a new radiator then.

Cheers!

 

I would contact your local junk yard, I have found a few mini's in my arear where I was able to steal some parts off of.

Canada version has the one side in metal as an upgade.

 

Okay I'll ask. Why does Canada get one-sided aluminum end tanks? And why are ours (OEM) all plastic?

 

I was at my local yard and your part was staring me in the face on the ground connect to this mini I was taking parts from so I took it for you in case you can’t find one. It was connected to the radiator from a r53.
