CRP Automotive
Are you seeing repeated failures with the coolant pipe in Mini Cooper, Countryman, or Paceman models? The original plastic water pump to thermostat pipe in these 2007–2016 Mini 1.6L engines is prone to cracking due to thermal cycling and hydrolysis, leading to leaks and system failures. This issue leads to costly repairs and frequent replacements that can drain time and resources. CRP Automotive offers the Rein Upgraded Coolant Pipe (P/N CHU0589) as the solution. Made from durable aluminum, this direct-fit replacement is designed to last longer than the original plastic pipe, resisting cracking and wear over time. The kit includes everything you need for an easy installation, including a new O-ring seal and clip, so you won’t need to source extra parts or waste time looking for replacements. By switching to the Rein Upgraded Coolant Pipe, you can offer your customers a more reliable, cost-effective solution that reduces repeat failures and helps extend the lifespan of the cooling system. Watch now to see how this simple upgrade can improve your repair efficiency. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 📱 Follow Us on Social Media: Stay connected with us on social media for the latest updates: • Facebook: / crpautomotive • Instagram: / crp.automotive • LinkedIn: / crp-automotive- • X: / crpindustries Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to our channel for more automotive tips, product highlights, and industry insights!
Addressing a Common OE Failure on the Mini Crossover Pipe | ITB Episode 155
Chevy Cruze turbo problems? Here's how to avoid repeat failures. Turbocharger replacement on 1.4L GM engines—like those in the Chevy Cruze and Buick Encore—requires more than just the turbo itself. Reusing old oil lines, gaskets, or hardware can lead to leaks, poor performance, and comebacks. In this Inside the Brands episode, we're talking about the REIN TechSelect Turbo Installation Kit (Part No. TRK0022) for 2011–2021 GM 1.4L turbocharged engines. It’s a complete turbo install solution designed to help: - Prevent turbo leaks and failures - Avoid sourcing parts one by one - Save time - Get everything in one box—hoses, gaskets, clamps, and upgraded oil return line Whether you're dealing with a failed turbo, prepping for a turbo swap, or looking for the right way to service a Cruze turbo, this video covers what you need to know. Watch to see how the REIN TechSelect Turbo Kits simplify turbo service and help make sure the job is done right the first time. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 📱 Follow Us on Social Media: Stay connected with us on social media for the latest updates: • Facebook: / crpautomotive • Instagram: / crp.automotive • LinkedIn: / crp-automotive- • X: / crpindustries Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to our channel for more automotive tips, product highlights, and industry insights!
The Right Way to Service a Chevy Cruze Turbo | ITB Episode 154
Choosing the right brake fluid isn’t as simple as checking the boiling point. In today’s vehicles, especially those equipped with ABS, ESC, and ADAS, viscosity has become just as important—if not more so. This episode explains how brake fluid viscosity affects system response times, stopping distance, and overall braking performance. In this episode of Inside the Brands, we take a closer look at Pentosin Super DOT 4, DOT 4 LV, and DOT 5.1 to explain what sets them apart and when each should be used. You’ll also learn why DOT 5.1 isn’t interchangeable with silicone-based DOT 5—and why that distinction matters. If you work on modern brake systems, this is one you’ll want to watch. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 📱 Follow Us on Social Media: Stay connected with us on social media for the latest updates: • Facebook: / crpautomotive • Instagram: / crp.automotive • LinkedIn: / crp-automotive- • X: / crpindustries Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to our channel for more automotive tips, product highlights, and industry insights!
Brake Fluid Viscosity Matters—Here’s Why | ITB Episode 153
The BMW B58 inline-six engine is known for its performance and efficiency, but coolant leaks are a common issue that can lead to major repairs if not addressed. One of the most frequent failure points is the coolant hose connector behind the heat management module.

In this episode of Inside the Brands, we're discussing: - Why coolant leaks are common in BMW B58 engines - How hydrolysis and heat cycles weaken the OE plastic coolant hose connector - How Rein’s upgraded aluminum coolant hose connector eliminates this failure point Replacing the OE plastic connector with an upgraded aluminum version eliminates these weak points and helps prevent repeated failures. 🔧 Watch now to learn more. 🌐 Visit Our Website: For more information about our high-quality automotive replacement parts and fluids, visit our official website at https://crpautomotive.com/ 🔍Search Our Parts: Find detailed parts and application information in our Online Catalog at https://showmetheparts.com/crp/ 📱 Follow Us on Social Media: Stay connected with us on social media for the latest updates: • Facebook: / crpautomotive • Instagram: / crp.automotive • LinkedIn: / crp-automotive- • X: / crpindustries Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to our channel for more automotive tips, product highlights, and industry insights!
