Over repeated thermal cycles and high-pressure conditions generated by the \u003cstrong\u003eN16\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eN18\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6L engines, the plastic degrades, becomes brittle, and hair-line fractures form around the inlet and outlet necks. Furthermore, the limited surface area of the stock single-row core struggles with heat soak during extended idling or high-load operation, risking sudden coolant loss and severe cylinder head warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis upgraded unit eliminates mechanical crimps and plastic assemblies by utilizing fully TIG-welded, furnace-brazed 100% aluminum construction. Engineered with a dual-row tube-and-fin core, it significantly expands coolant capacity and increases ambient surface contact for superior heat dissipation. Designed as a direct-fit replacement, it features precision-machined inlet and outlet ports that match factory hose routing and retain stock mounting locations without requiring custom bracket modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x All-aluminum direct-fit 2-row radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtective port caps (pre-installed for shipping)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1.6L (N16 \/ N18) \/ R60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e121 hp \/ 114 lb-ft (Base 1.6L)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eAS629508MM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman 1.6L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the R60 Countryman?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e1.6L Prince\u003c\/strong\u003e engine family, replacing OEM part number \u003cstrong\u003eAS629508MM\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the cooling system after installing this radiator?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you must perform a complete cooling system vacuum refill or follow standard bleeding procedures through the expansion tank to eliminate trapped air pockets before initial operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mini Cooper Precision Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean powertrain packaging leaves virtually no margin for thermal excess; this all-aluminum core ensures factory thermal stability and leak-free reliability without triggering fault codes or altering OEM sensor fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67553126121720,"sku":"DS-E2B66IHIZ","price":95.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/radiator-for-mini-cooper-countryman-2011-2016-1-6l-1.jpg?v=1790826715","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/radiator-for-mini-cooper-countryman-2011-2016-1-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
