Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2018 Lincoln Navigator, 2018 Lincoln MKZ, 2018 Lincoln MKX, 2018 Lincoln MKT, and 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The exhaust gases are directed through the EGR cooler to lower the exhaust gas temperature before entering the intake manifold. The EGR cooler uses engine coolant to reduce the exhaust gas temperature.
