hello,

i filled up the coolant system after draining it to put my new raceware
studs in.
the needle is running on the right side of the light in the gauge now, which
is
cooler than it was before the raceware swap.  (this is good!)

my question is this.  does filling the diesel coolant system require raising
the
front end (similar to the Vanagon wasserboxer procedure)?  it seems that it
should
to me.  couldn't find anything in the archives - anyone have an idea?  i'm
thinking
this might get the needle down a little further, as it seems most folks
diesel
vanagons temp. needle rides to the left side of the bulb, instead of the
right.

if it does require raising, anyone know how much?

THANKS!  John
