Genuine Ford Heating & Cooling System Components

Genuine Ford heater and cooling system parts

We feel stress and can get sick if we are too hot or too cold and our vehicles are no different. Ensuring every part of your car, where the passengers and driver are seated and in the engine bay, are at the right temperature around the clock is imperative to protect your vehicle from long-term damage.

Common Heating & Cooling System Parts

• Radiator: The primary heat exchanger that cools the engine's coolant after it has circulated through the hot engine block.
• Radiator Fan (Thermo Fan): An electric fan that pulls air through the radiator and condenser when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly, providing crucial cooling when natural airflow is insufficient.
• Radiator Shutters: Motorized vanes that open and close behind the grille to manage airflow, improving aerodynamics for fuel efficiency and helping the engine warm up faster.
• Water Pump: The heart of the cooling system, it circulates coolant throughout the engine block, cylinder head, radiator, and heater core.
• Thermostat: A temperature-controlled valve that blocks coolant flow to the radiator until the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature, then opens to regulate temperature.
• Heater Core: A small radiator located inside the dashboard that uses hot coolant from the engine to provide warmth to the cabin and defrost the windshield.
• Hoses: Flexible, reinforced rubber hoses that carry hot coolant between the engine, water pump, and heater core.
• AC Compressor: The pump of the AC system, it pressurizes and circulates the refrigerant throughout the system.
• AC Condenser: Located in front of the radiator, it functions like a radiator for the refrigerant, dissipating heat and converting the high-pressure gas back into a liquid.
• AC Evaporator: Located inside the dashboard, it absorbs heat from the cabin air, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and cool the air before it is blown into the vehicle interior.

Explore a wide range of genuine Ford radiator replacements

It is vital to ensure your Ford is being cooled correctly and there are a number of parts and components in your system that need to be monitored, repaired and replaced when they are faulty and periodically before they become an issue.

The radiator is the heart of your cooling system, and any faults with this component will cause overheating issues that can cause major damage to your vehicle. But there are also hoses, the radiator overflow, the thermostats & housing, water supply pipes and sensors that can fail and cause issues as well.

If your vehicle is overheating, do not try and continue driving. This will put stress on your entire engine and can lead to thousands of dollars in repair costs. Have your Ford towed to your mechanic to isolate the issue. During this time, we can have the official part delivered directly and expressly so you can take care of the issue before it turns into a much larger problem.
