Product Details
The CSF 3511 radiator follows the factory-style layout used in the Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT cooling system. Its aluminum core helps transfer heat efficiently, while the plastic tanks replicate the OE configuration for proper fitment and hose connection alignment. CSF manufactures a wide range of radiator models and validates cooling performance through lab testing, including wind tunnel evaluation.
This part cross-references Carlson 13214 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn or leaking radiator in a 2010-2012 Ford Flex or 2010-2012 Lincoln MKT, CSF 3511 provides a direct-fit service solution that matches the original cross-flow design.
Common Cooling System Issues
- Coolant leaks from cracked or aged radiator tanks
- Overheating caused by reduced heat transfer through a damaged core
- Restricted coolant flow from internal corrosion or blockage
- Fitment problems when replacing a radiator with the wrong OE-style dimensions
- Cooling performance loss after long-term wear in the factory radiator
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify hose inlet and outlet orientation before installation, especially on the Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT applications listed here. Inspect related cooling system components such as hoses, clamps, and the radiator cap condition before reassembly, since the cap is not included with this radiator. Confirm all mounting points and line up the OE-style plastic tank and aluminum core assembly before filling and bleeding the system.
Quality Assurance
CSF manufactures radiators in ISO/TSO-certified facilities and validates cooling performance during development. The brand has supplied radiators worldwide for decades and offers a broad catalog of OE-style cooling components for many vehicle platforms, including the Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT.
