Welcome to the forum. This car uses a hydraulic cooling fan (not directly belt driven, not electric) and likewise, incorporates a separate hydraulic pump for the cooling fan. I suspect the shop is suggesting that both are damaged, which may not be unreasonable if debris was introduced to the system. I'm actually quite surprised they'll do both the fan and the pump for $2000, but I haven't read of anyone else needing either of these replaced and therefore, I can't say this price compares to what others have paid or if it's likely the problem. I'm not a professional in the automotive industry, and the techs at the Lincoln shop may have seen these fail before.
