Cooling System
Engine cooling on the MINI comes in two forms, although the basic layout remains the same. Both systems use a 50/50 coolant solution with standard kevlar reinforced EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) cooling hoses.

The coolant pump is manufactured from die cast aluminum and is driven by the auxiliary belt on the MINI COOPER. It is installed on the intake side of the engine block (towards the front of the car).
Scheme 761
The MINI COOPER S coolant pump is driven by the supercharger via a reduction gearbox. The coolant pump is fitted directly onto the supercharger housing and is connected by a two legged dog drive (similar to a conventional transmission torque converter)..
