Cooling system issues are common in various Mini Cooper models. If you notice signs of engine overheating, coolant leaks, or radiator failure, it’s important to seek assistance. These problems are often caused by worn-out components, such as the radiator and coolant hoses, leading to leaks. Engine cooling fan failure can occur in any Mini Cooper model.
