My car has never had ANY overheat issues at ALL! NONE. But I think because they saw how dirty the engine bay was from the P/S leak, plus I have 173K miles, they assumed the car wasn't maintained. So the next call I got from the service adviser was after they did a block test, the result were...

So now it's time to button everything back up. So to make removal of parts easy, I removed the bottom radiator hose and thermostat housing. Almost complete.......one major block......i bought a new serpentine and could not get it on after I cut off the old one. I TRIED....TRIED....and TRIED..but...

So here's the whole story. My '02 Conti was leaking power steering fluid. After looking around on a lift, location of leak was at the power steering pump. So I bought a OEM remanufactured Motorcraft P/S pump. You have to remove the A/C compressor to access the P/S pump, and I had put a inferior...

Yes. But now my back is against the wall. I need my car, so I advised I will pay for what repairs they did $$$ and look into my head gasket issue later. They state that the car hasn't been test driven on the road but does start to heat up sitting on idle.

UNBELIEVABLE!! It has been a disastrous repair for the power steering pump. Before I get into details on that, I had to get my Conti towed to a repair shop and this is one of their repair advisement to me "Replaced thermostat and gasket. Continue with overheating diagnosis. Performed block test...

BTW, here's my '02 with the double din Pioneer NEX system. I downloaded a lincoln splash screen like my forum picture.

Ran out of time. Reinstalled my old a/c compressor and had it recharged. Still leaking and $148 out of pocket now. I'm going to try again next weekend. Here's a picture of the hose end. Cutting the tube and sticking deep well socket over it seems viable.

Well FlaOkie, not so well on my repair. I had to button everything back up. 1. Reservoir to pwr steering pump hose wouldn't come off. 2x bolts holding reservoir to coolant reservoir were stripped. (got around that problem) 2. a/c compressor came off without a hitch. Exposing leaking power...

Well this Sat I will R&R my power steering pump. Not sure where the actual leak is but I have an OEM power steering pump. In addition, I'm replacing my A/C compressor with an OEM Ford part. Anybody have any tips for me some I can have a smooth repair. I'll be at Lackland AFB San Antonio, TX auto...

Actually, I have the "reservoir to pump" hose which is F80Z3691AA. #8. What I need is F8OZ-3A719-BA Upper Press Hose which is #5 PUMP & HOSES for 2002 Lincoln Continental

Good afternoon! On my 2002 Lincoln Conti, I've a p/s fluid leak for a few weeks. Looks like it's coming from my P/S pump. (I was getting all hoses that lead to the P/S) I now have a OEM remanufactured P/S pump, the reservoir-to-pump hose, and I was looking to get the upper pressure hose from...

Thank you, sir!

Good morning! One of my CV boots is damaged, so it looks like I will have to replace that half shaft. I have 2002 Lincoln Conti fully loaded with 169K miles on it and it's very reliable and smooth. What is a good brand to order the CV half shafts from? I'll probably do both sides. Haven't really...

Thanks. I'll remove my radio and look for a mount. I'll also remove my front deck lid to see if I can mount it also.

:wrench I have a 2002 Conti fully loaded. I just purchased Pioneer AVIC-6200 NEX and it comes with a GPS antenna. Pioneer recommends you use their GPS antenna and not a 3rd party aftermarket. If there is any of you Conti's that have an aftermarket navigation system, where are you mounting...

Tune-up, tires rotated, oil changed, ( I use Mobil 1 full synthetic and Lucas synthetic Oil stabilizer), cabin air filter changed, new premium brake pads all around. Now all I need is my windows tinted. Texas sun is killing me and my a/c. BTW... i need to become more active on this forum. I'm a...

THANK YOU ground_zero298! I've been searching for some type of mods for this car! Now I can't wait. Got to make an appointment with a good "Lincoln/Ford" dealer for my tranny fluid

Thanks for the info. Also being in Texas, I might want to get the car windows tinted.
