No, I bled it like I would any other watercooled VW...I left the radiator cap
off and ran it at about 3500rpm for 10-15 minutes with the heater(s) on.
Basically until the radiator fan cycles.  Worked like a charm.  The van runs
at just above the midway mark on the gauge at all times...highway, city,
uphill, downhill, etc.
