OEM Lincoln Radiator Cooling Parts

Your radiator plays a crucial part when it comes to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. That's because it helps keep the engine cool, even when it's working its hardest.

How Your Radiator Cools Your Engine

The engine generates a tremendous amount of heat when it's running. To keep it from overheating and shutting down, your radiator sends fluid (usually a mix of water and coolant) through a series of hoses to the engine block. The fluid works its way through, collecting the heat that's been building up. Then it returns to the radiator. The heat dissipates into the atmosphere through the radiator's large, finned, flat surface. The fluid, properly cooled, is then free to make another trip through the engine.

How to Spot Radiator Problems

Even the highest quality radiator can start to fail. Don't let that go without attention, as it can lead to significant engine issues. Look for these signs of radiator trouble:

• You notice pools of red, yellow, or green liquid underneath your vehicle
• You hear strange engine noises
• You notice a sweet, syrupy smell (that's what coolant smells like)
• You have trouble with your cabin air conditioning or heating
