If you have honestly tried everything as stated all at the same time and they are the correct parts. Correct thermostat for that vehicle with the correct temperature opening for your application.
As I was saying somewhere before. Mini cooper is a Track car in a larger realm then most. Their are different spark plugs with different temperatures offered for them. As well as thermostat's. That thermostat is in question in my opinion.
Another thing is whenever I do take my Mini Cooper to a Mechanic I always request the old parts back. So that if something like this occurs I can cross reference them with the new part. In other words put the old part back on it.
I got a couple questions.
1.Was your new engine a new Mini Cooper engine?
2. Was your new engine a new re manufactured engine?
3. Was your new engine a Junk yard, or engine that someone installed for you from a garage that has been pre used?
I say that as it pertains to the water jacket in the block and cylinder head collecting sludge. By not using the proper coolant. I always use Mini Cooper coolant. 60 dollars U.S. and I will buy 2 of them and make four with water at 50/50.
