Lincoln questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Lincoln losing coolant with no visible leak?
On the 3.5L and 3.7L V6 in the MKX, MKZ and MKT, the water pump sits inside the engine and is driven by the timing chain. When its seal fails, coolant can leak into the oil, which can ruin the engine. On 2.0L EcoBoost engines, coolant leaking into a cylinder is another known cause.
Warning signs
Low coolant · Milky oil · White smoke or misfire
What we do
We pressure-test the cooling system, check the oil for coolant, and confirm the source before quoting the repair.
Colorado Springs: don't keep driving a Lincoln that's losing coolant. Mountain grades turn a slow leak into an overheated engine fast.
Why does my Navigator rattle on startup?
On 2018–2020 Navigators with the 3.5L EcoBoost, cam phaser rattle is a known issue that Ford addressed with a special program. On earlier EcoBoosts, timing chain wear causes a similar noise.
Warning signs
Rattle at cold start · Knock at warm idle · Cam timing codes
What we do
We check cam timing data, confirm whether it's phasers or chain, and replace the timing parts as one job.
Why does my Lincoln's 10-speed shift hard?
The 10-speed automatic in the Navigator, Aviator and other models is known for harsh or delayed shifts, and Ford issued bulletins for it. Many cases are fixed with software updates and relearns.
Warning signs
Harsh 1-2 or 2-3 shift · Delayed engagement · Clunk into gear
What we do
We check for updates, reprogram the transmission module in-house, and run the relearn, then go further only if the problem is mechanical.
Why is my Navigator or Town Car sitting low?
On Lincolns with air suspension, the air springs crack with age and leak, or the compressor wears out from running too much.
Warning signs
One corner low · Suspension warning · Compressor running constantly
What we do
We leak-test the system and replace only the part that failed.
Can you work on my Lincoln hybrid or plug-in?
We handle the mechanical work: brakes, suspension, cooling, the gas engine and fluid service. We don't work on high-voltage batteries or high-voltage systems.
Good to know
Mechanical work: yes · High-voltage: no
What we do
We handle the mechanical side with factory-level diagnostics and tell you up front if a concern is high-voltage.
