  Q: How to remove and install the charge air cooler in Lincoln MKX?

  A: For 2014 and earlier models, start by removing the cooling fan shroud. Then, remove the Manifold Absolute Pressure Temperature (MAPT) sensor. Loosen the clamps securing the inlet and outlet tubes to the intercooler and disconnect the tubes. Remove the intercooler bolts and carefully slide the intercooler out of the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. For 2015 and later models, begin by removing the radiator support panel push-pin plastic fasteners and the shield from the top and bottom. Remove the front bumper cover. Remove the radiator guide pins and attach plastic cable ties through the guide pin holes and the radiator support. Remove the plastic push pins from the Intercooler side shrouds and remove the shrouds. Remove the intercooler inlet and outlet pipe to-radiator mounting bolts. Disconnect the clamps at the intercooler pipes and disconnect the electrical connector to the turbocharger boost pressure sensor. Remove the intercooler-to-lower radiator support on each end of the Intercooler. Remove the air conditioning condenser-to-radiator mounting bolts from each side of the condenser. Remove the active shutter grille-to-lower radiator support plastic fasteners. Remove the lower radiator support mounting bolts from under the vehicle and remove the support, active shutter grille, and Intercooler as an assembly. Finally, remove the Intercooler. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to tighten the lower radiator support.
