Under the elevated operational temperatures and cooling system pressures generated by the 1.6L engine, constant heat-cycling degrades the structural polymers. Over time, the composite tanks embrittle, leading to hairline cracking along the inlet neck, failed core seams, and rapid loss of coolant pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis heavy-duty replacement upgrades the assembly to an all-aluminum construction featuring a dual-row brazed tube-and-fin core and structural aluminum end tanks. Hand TIG-welded to eradicate mechanical crimp joints, this core improves fluid volume and increases surface area contact for improved convective cooling. The welded tank-to-core interface withstands elevated thermal loads, eliminating heat soak and preventing catastrophic pressurized blowouts under hard driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Direct-fit 2-row all-aluminum radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtective transport caps for inlet\/outlet ports\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;\"\u003e2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman\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;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.6L Prince (N16 \/ N18)\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eR61\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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 (Cooper) to 181 hp \/ 177 lb-ft (Cooper S)\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;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAS629508MM\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\u003e2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman 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 R61 Paceman?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e1.6L Prince\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.
