Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition TX202 engine coolant temperature sensor monitors coolant temperature and sends that information to the vehicle’s control system. In Mini Cooper applications, this sensor supports accurate temperature reporting for engine operation, fuel control, and cooling system response. This part number, TX202, is listed for 2007-2008 Mini Cooper models on the thermostat housing and 2009-2015 Mini Cooper models with no position note provided.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 158-1693 and Walker Products 211-1084 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Help Address

• Incorrect coolant temperature readings
• Illuminated engine warning light related to temperature input
• Hard starting or rough running tied to temperature signal errors
• Cooling fan behavior affected by faulty sensor data
• Fuel mixture concerns caused by inaccurate coolant temperature reporting

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and mounting location before installation. For 2007-2008 Mini Cooper applications, the fitment note specifies thermostat housing placement. Inspect the connector for corrosion or heat damage and confirm the sealing surface is clean before installing the new sensor. Always compare the old unit to TX202 to confirm the same connector shape, terminal count, and direct-fit configuration.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical and engine management components for service applications. TX202 is built to match the listed fitment and connector specifications for Mini Cooper cooling system service.
