Cooling System

Common to all vehicles

Updated to a strengthened cooling system specification using carefully selected, high-quality Japanese-made parts

Cooling system components are easily affected by heat and age-related deterioration. When they deteriorate, they can cause coolant leaks, rising coolant temperatures, and overheating. By replacing and adjusting each component, we restore proper coolant circulation and temperature control.

The Rover Mini was born in the UK, and in Japan’s hot and humid climate the cooling system is placed under heavy strain, making overheating more likely. For this reason, Classca upgrades the system with carefully selected Japanese-made parts. We replace consumable components such as the 3-core radiator, improved-spec hoses, and newly developed hoses.

In addition, the factory thermoswitch for the electric fan can vary in its operation, so we replace it with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, activating at approximately 92 to 95 degrees and stopping at around 87 degrees, helping keep coolant temperature consistent and maintaining stable driving even in summer.

Furthermore, because the factory cooling fan blade is thin and prone to deformation from heat, we replace it with a reinforced thicker type to improve cooling efficiency and stability.
