Radiator and Coolant Hose
Your Lincoln relies on its radiator to stay at the correct temperature as you drive. The radiator and coolant hoses are vital parts of the cooling system, preventing your Lincoln from overheating. Your Lincoln's engine generates a significant amount of heat while it runs. The radiator and cooling system hoses transport coolant from the radiator to the engine, allowing it to operate at its ideal temperature. The top of the radiator is connected to the top of the engine by an upper hose. The bottom of the radiator is connected to the engine's water pump via a lower hose, which maintains coolant flowing through the system.
Lincolns require a unique approach to establishing correct radiator and coolant hoses. The team at State Motors Lincoln has years of experience and is certified to work on any type of Lincoln you bring to us. Don't just take your luxury vehicle anywhere for service and maintenance - bring your Lincoln to a team you can trust.

The Importance of Proper Cooling
Engine overheating is a very severe issue in your vehicle. Not only is it detrimental to the engine, but it can also be dangerous to you and your passengers. If a radiator or cooling system hose breaks or leaks, the engine won't get enough coolant and may overheat. Because the hoses are constructed of rubber, they are prone to cracking and deterioration over time due to the high temperatures in the engine bay. We only work with high-quality, professional materials when replacing your Lincoln's radiator hoses. This works to properly cool your engine to optimal temperatures while minimizing the risk of needing to replace them again quickly.
