Subject:      High temp after coolant flush ?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hi Volks,


  Getting closer to the road I can feel it !


  I have some bugs with my coolant flush. This was my first attempt at the
coolant flush. I went with the Orange stuff and flushed all the green stuff
out. Did the bleeding but, because the van needed a jump every time it
staled (P.I.T.A) I was the one on the pedal and the friend was running
around the van so we may have missed a step.


  After it was all filled The Temp would not even out and continued to rise.
There was actually steam coming from the radiator ! New thermostat, temp
sensor and the pumps only year n a half old. I am going to read more from
the archives and print post this time and give it another shoot.


The QUESTION ???   Is the temp up because of air in the system.
Thanks for all the help so far. Have a great weekend .


Brian 87 GL
