Q: My Lincoln is still overheating, why?
I've put a ton of money under the hood of my car trying to get rid of this problem if you're going to say something generic don't bother. I have changed all the plastics in the cooling system: thermostat housing and everything connected. It has a new degas bottle and hydraulic fan motor, shroud, and blade. I need an EXPERT to help me know what to do next. Temp sensor? Hydraulic actuator? Computer? Something I don't know about? Help me???!!! Thank you
