Chris Attached is a file I did with ABC flow charter that gives the sequence. It is about the only way I could understand it. As far as a too to keep the RPM up I use a standard W.I.F.E; I'm sure a metric one would work, too. And as far as 15 3/4 inches, I over estimate and it hasn't failed me.

Dear list, Can someone help me with the proper way (i.e. give me a little more detail) on bleeding the coolant system. I know that there is air in the system, so I tried to bleed it out, but when i follow the bentley instructions, my van's fan comes on and cools the system before bubble free fluid runs out. Also, when the manual calls for a 15 3/4" raise of the front, is that raised under the tire? And if I am doing the job myself any tips on getting the rpms up and steady (is there a tool for that?). One more question....I plan on replacing all the hoses and hardware on the cooling system. How long will that take me? thanks. chris 89 wolfsburg weekender. __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
