Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

ok this is something that keeps popin up, I have'nt flushed the cooling system yet, but do you think if I did it might not get so hot in traffic?

seems only stop and go causes my van to heat up, sure the fan comes on, but soon after my res tank drains, * I need to also replace the head gaskets in due time/money will permit. The res tank drain ahhh maybe every 3 weeks depends how much driving i do.

*** also how can i up the balls on my van when in comes to a hill *** shoot i drop down to 50mph, with a full load i drop to about 45mpn I jump all the way right and start tacking out, tring not to over work my poor 85 1.9

thanks all

VW addict
