Mini Cooper S no heat.
I have been reading up on this and its a common problem.
I have no heat. It will barley defrost the windshield. The heater core does not leak. Is it likely plugged or is there air in the system? I did bleed it with the screw in front of the radiator. Any help would be appreciated |

Thermostats are common on these, but usually at that mileage, they've gotten the updated part.
The water pump is driven off of the supercharger on your car and 2 things go wrong with that. The water pump can just wear out or the internal parts of the supercharger that spin the water pump could not be spinning. I would check the flow of the water pump by disconnecting the small hose on the coolant overflow and aiming it into the overflow fill. Have someone start the car and rev it up. It should have a nice steady stream and increase with rpm. I have seen a few heater cores get clogged up. It's not that common, but it's something to check. |
