Aristotle, don't I have to drain the radiator, then bleed the coolant? The process sounded like a hassle. I'll probably do it one day, but I don't want to spend a full day on something like this right now. How long did it take you to replace the radiator fan switch that is located on the radiator on the driver's side? Also, I'm a little worried about not being able to bleed it properly. -- Craig -- Craig Oda craigoda@communitybuilders.info VW Info: 1983 VW Westfalia, water-cooled, automatic http://communitybuilders.dhs.org/craigoda/vw/
