How the Coolant System Works on Your MINI at Bill Jacobs

Once your engine heats up and reaches its operating temperature, the thermostat valve will open, releasing coolant fluid into the cooling system. The water pump moves the coolant fluid through the coolant lines, picking up excess heat generated by the engine. The now-hot coolant moves to the radiator, spread over a large surface area in the radiator’s fins. This larger surface area, combined with airflow, causes the coolant to shed excess heat. Once cooled down in the radiator, it moves into coolant lines and begins the cycle again.
