Cooling System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine cooling system includes the following:
- Radiator
- Timing chain driven coolant pump
- Electric fan assembly(s)
- Degas bottle (aids in maintaining the correct volume of engine coolant)
- Coolant thermostat
- Coolant hoses
The channel cover plate is located under the engine front cover mounted to the cylinder block. It contains a timing chain idler and press-in-place gaskets separating engine coolant and engine oil. A weep hole is provided on the front left side of the engine behind the generator. If oil or coolant is leaking from the weep hole, then a gasket has failed and must be replaced.
