Details on the 1 Row Plastic Tank Aluminum Core Product Line

The CSF 1 Row Plastic Tank Aluminum Core product line combines OEM-style plastic tanks with a robust aluminum core to balance durability and weight. This design supports efficient cooling while maintaining compatibility with factory mounting points and hose connections. The single-row core thickness of 7/8 inch ensures adequate heat exchange for Mini Cooper engines without requiring extensive modifications.

Technical Description and Specifications

The CSF 3194 radiator features a cross flow core layout, which promotes consistent coolant flow from the right-side inlet to the left-side outlet. The core dimensions measure 22 3/4 inches in length and 16 1/16 inches in width, with a thickness of 7/8 inch. The aluminum core provides corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, while the plastic tanks reduce overall weight. The inlet and outlet diameters are both 1 5/16 inches, designed to match OEM hose sizes for straightforward installation. This radiator does not include a cap and is intended as a direct replacement for Mini Cooper cooling systems.

Applications and Common Cooling Issues Addressed

• Replacement for leaking or cracked radiators in Mini Cooper vehicles
• Restores proper engine temperature regulation to prevent overheating
• Resolves coolant flow restrictions caused by clogged or damaged cores
• Addresses radiator core corrosion or damage from road debris
• Improves cooling system efficiency in older or high-mileage Mini Coopers

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the CSF 3194 radiator, ensure the inlet and outlet hose connections match the 1 5/16 inch diameter specifications. Verify the radiator mounts align with the Mini Cooper chassis to avoid fitment issues. Since the radiator does not include a cap, reuse the existing OEM cap or source a compatible replacement. Bleed the cooling system properly after installation to remove air pockets and ensure optimal coolant circulation.
