Got my leak fixed. It was the front seal. Cost $595. Thanks for the help.

Thanks My '02 was doing the same thing. Glad I stumbled across this thread and cleaned and re-lubed. Everything is great now. Thanks.

Did you get a quote or have it fixed? if so, how much did it cost? It is definitely transmission fluid. Thanks for the diagram. I'll see if I can trace it back further.

Hi, I have a 2002 Lincoln LS, v8, automatic, 100k miles. It has a slow transmission fluid leak (I find a few couple drops under it after it has been parked). I would appreciate any help in identifying where the leak is coming from, and approximate cost to have repaired. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I didn't see the 3rd connector, and assumed that it was for optional external inputs. I'll pull the head unit out and see if I can find that cable.

2002 LS V8, with 6 disc Alpine CD changer and no Navigation Unit. Several years ago, I pulled the stock head unit, replaced speakers, and put in aftermarket amp. I am now selling the car, so returning it to stock. Got it all hooked back up, and the center front and rear deck speakers to not...

Here is what i've had to replace so far, 2002LS 3.9 AUTO, Owned 50K to 75k Miles: 1) New Front Sway bar + Bushings ($105ish, did labor myself - this sucked) 2) 4x Coils/Gasket/Plugs for passenger side (~$200, did this myself) 3) DCCV replaced ($65-$120 did labor myself)) 4) right front...

I haven't heard any noises. just an occasional Passenger side hot air during A/C. I've read theories on the coils, stabilizer bar bushings, etc, but I've never read one on the DCCV. As an engineering type, I was just curious why it fails

About 1.5 years ago, my vents would blow cold air out the driver's side, and hot air out the passenger side. I replaced the DCCV and all was good......until yesterday. So, I have a couple of questions. 1) Why do these fail so often? 2) Have there been any design changes since these...

owned my LS since 50K miles, don't believe any replaced prior to me. 1) 2002 2) V8 3) 1? not yet replaced. 4) 4 according to the codes 5) 10 miles each way to work, 5 miles city, 5 miles highway at 70mph. Mine just started missing last week @ 70K miles. I plan on replacing gasket and...

Thanks to the OP and the one with the other "how to" thread" linked here. My Driver door window started making a crunching sound and excessive wind noise, but still worked. Ordered the new part $109 at TeamFordParts.com and followed these directions. Replaced unit in ~ 1-1.5 hrs. Mine had...

Hi, I too am interested in your wheels. I'd appreciate a PM with price and pics. Thanks.

There is a service bulletin on the issue. My 2002 v8 would occasionally blew hot air out driver side vents but would correct itself after being parked for awhile .Turned out to be the DCCV. Try a search on your problem - several post here about it.

It comes out very difficultly. ;) I followed the replacement instructions that are in the shop manual (you can get them on EBAY). It is not for the casual DIYer, but it can be done. At a very high level, it comes out the drivers side wheel well (Remove tire, rotor, splashguard, etc)...

Rastlin, It will all be worth it when (if) you don't have to experience that hot air coming out again......congratulations.

My 2002 V8 was failing just like yours. I replaced the DCCV this spring and that took care of it. I think I only paid ~ $150-$180 online (less than $200). I used on of those dealer manuals (DVD) you can buy from ebay for directions. Also flushed coolant while I was at it. If you mark the...

Replacing the Sway Bar "One of the suckiets jobs ever to do. " I agree and not a job for the faint of heart. I think the Bar can be had for a little over $100. Getting the entire bar re-installed is nearly impossible. Not impossible, but damn near it. So much so that 30 minutes after...

The DCCV (at least on an '02 V8) is located on passenger side between radiator and engine block, way down low. It has approximately 5 water hoses attached to it.

I had the same problem and swapped out the DCCV.

There are several threads on this subject - if you search a little more you will find them and info on the TSB. I had the same problem last year and changed out my DCCV this winter. Really not that difficult (especially compared to putting in the new sway bar due to the bushing thunk problem)...
