    Hello, I have a problem with this type of mini cooper 1.6 2000 r with gas, after heating the engine, the coolant increases, but does not overflow because as it is too late, the fan turns on and falls to a minimum, the replaced head does not go to oil and there is no exhaust gas in the tank. Today I noticed that in the cabin you can hear gurgling at high speed what can be still

    Look for breathers, you probably haven't found them all. Browse through specialized forums in the subject.

    Hello, I still have a problem with venting the coolant in the tank, boiling temperature in the cabin indicator in half.

    I had the same problem, I thought I would drop my heads, but I managed to get it under control
    Check the coolant plug that is mounted on the thermostat housing.
    If loosely fastens (no spring resistance)
    to replace. Check if the housing itself has no cracks. is the thermostat OK?
    After verifying the above venting is not easy, start the procedure from a cold engine, unscrew 2 vents (looking at the engine one on the left side at the second gear from the bulkhead wall.
    Now pour the liquid nicely and start the venting engine and the most important breather is the one from the accessory belt side. When the air bubbles come down, drive the vent stop once again and so bored. After this procedure all problems disappeared and I had black thoughts that the head was up. it is important to bleed not only at idle (idle) but at 3000 rpm. I hope you can do it. Note when the engine overheats, wait for it to cool down and start again if you have a gas installation check the connections for leaks .

    Check if the reducer accidentally leaks gas into the cooling system.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a 2000 Mini Cooper 1.6 gas model experiencing coolant fluid increase and engine heating issues. The user reports that after the engine heats up, the coolant level rises but does not overflow, and the fan activates late, causing the temperature to drop. They have replaced the head and confirmed no oil contamination or exhaust gas in the tank. Users suggest that the problem may be due to inadequate venting of the cooling system. Recommendations include checking for all breathers, ensuring the coolant plug on the thermostat housing is secure, and verifying the thermostat's condition. A detailed bleeding procedure is advised, starting from a cold engine and involving specific vent locations. Additionally, checking for gas leaks from the reducer into the cooling system is recommended.
