This URO Premium thermostat gasket is the sealing gasket that sits between the thermostat housing and the cylinder head on R52/R53 MINIs. Because the gasket can fail and leak coolant even when the thermostat itself is still working, replacing it is a common fix for a coolant leak at the thermostat housing.

Fitment: MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works models on the R52 and R53 chassis with the W11 1.6L supercharged engine.
