Yes, it does. You will get a yellow warning light (little picture where your odometer is) when it's getting hot and a red one when it's overheating.

SimpleCarGuy thank you very much! i‘m really excited for the R56 Cooper S, will be a huge upgrade over my R50 One!

Are Toyotas more reliable? For sure.. I had a 2011 Toyota Camry SE many years ago and sold it after 6 months. I guess I'm the type of person where I need to enjoy the car I'm driving and the rest comes second.

It’s a 2010 Mini Cooper s.

check for leaks this example is leaking from the rear right side... that's where the water pump is located & a rear plastic water line transferring water to the thermostat heater pipes are more centrally located & at the rear (I've not watched the upload 100% yet) you need to check for water leaks along the hoses (run your car & feel the pipes getting warm.. this guy checks air inlet hoses "very odd" check on-top of the gearbox (rh side of engine for fluid on top) if so it could be a hose to the thermostat or thermostat &/or gasket (the thermostat is on the rh side rear under the high pressure fuel pump its black plastic with 5-6 hoses going in/out) also check the radiator for leaks next check the underside of the front of the car, as its common for the oil filter housing to leak oil/coolant (yes both run through it) that's usually gasket failures due to heat off the engine, depending what car/model you have it can be either a: a swine to change gaskets b: to total pig (if its a S model ie turbo) finally check put your car heater on & wait til its blowing hot & check all over the front carpet inside the car, thats a common sign the heater core is bad/leaking (total nightmare to sort-out) also check the fans operating properly run the car till its hot 10-15minutes standing still.. if it doesn't operate (the fan) it could be a blown fuse, dodgy relay (cheap to test yourself) or a heater relay thingy (cant remember the proper name) this is located on the engine bay front, back of radiator fan shroud, right hand side about 5-6" down.. look for a small green (under the coolant expansion bottle) a small 1-2" green cylinder thingy, make sure this hasn't failed over time, mine did the cables leading to/from it had corroded so the fan didn't operate, if this is the case its best to buy a new fan/shroud (all one item) complete, very easy to remove/install.

Defective heat sensor triggering the red gage giving a misleading reading ... common fault

I have sold the car since then, but I don't believe it had an actual oil/coolant temp gauge so I'm not sure.

thank you in advance

That sounds very strange that it would only do it when you turn right. Doesn't sound like a coolant pump issues, but more like you are very very low on oil or on coolant. Check those first.

Maybe it's because of the oil and other stuff that was leaked out, and did not get a proper clean? And when the engine gets hot all that junk gets hot and make that smell?

It was a leaky water pump

Sorry about your car. Did the engine overheat once? Was it happening for a while and the car was driven while it was overheating? If it was driven while it was overheated it could have caused a lot of damage and seized the engine (meaning it kind of melted together). If the engine still spins and rotates, then it really depends what the actual issue is. The mechanic should have told you why it needs to be replaced specifically. If you don’t trust him/her, take the car to another mechanic and have them tell you the actual issue. Good luck and let me know what they tell you!

@@SimpleCarGuy yes it was driven for another 10 miles, I thought I could make it home but I guess not ..

@@thanaamakdsi868 i would still get another opinion to see if it's fixable.

oh no never do that pullover then wait. for it to come down then go.

yeah if you ran the car dry of coolant & still drove the car, ultimately you cooked the engine.. if anyone in any car has a coolant leak, pull over & get help.. doing anything else is just plain stupid & could/will lead to costly repairs rather then a simple hose, water pump etc & more coolant..

I'm pretty sure it was the water pump gasket that was caught on something and not installed properly. When I take it off, it looks a bit squished and of center. I had the water pump already bought so I replaced the entire thing. I have a full video on replacement if you are interested.

Did you replace the water pump?

I had the same issue on my BMW 335xi, it was an expensive fix since I didn’t have a garage back then.

I thought the thermostat is on the other side of the engine in regards to the coolant pump.

@@SimpleCarGuy you mean on the left?

Coolant pump is on the left side of the engine when facing the car and thermostat is on the right. I might be wrong, though.

@@SimpleCarGuy you're right.

Sorry i just haven't seen on which side you have the leak before. It might the water pump

It is actually not recommended to let the car ‘warm’ up. You want to start driving as soon as the RPM lowers from 1200 to the normal idle of around 750. The only way I can think of getting the coolant/oil temp would be with an OBD2 reader and an app.

Sounds like a water pump to me!

water pump or thermostat failure.. if its empty of coolant "its a leak!" dont use the car, find the issue & repair it

People always tell me to sell cars I own because something happened.. the thing is that I like working on cars and getting them back on the road! In this car the water pump was at fault.

Good idea, thanks!

Drove the car since fixing it last year and really really enjoyed it. No other issues.

Every car breaks down. why would you sell a good car just because you had one problem. you're an idiot

@@ronaldmorrison6013 Sir, you are a legend.

I've had my 2010 clubman s for 4yrs and put over 100,000 miles on it and I love driving it! I do my own maintenance and repairs! They're good cars as long as you keep up on the maintenance!
