Hello

once again im back with the same problem.  :)

i have the 84 vanagon 1.9 water cooled

I have bleed the cooling system many times yet still
air is gettin in there i donno how .. i donno maybe im
not gettin it all out.. but im pretty sure i am.
After i bleed it . it works good. heat ablasting and
all damm its nice .. temp is low  and all .. after
that i let it sit ..   .. till it gets cool again.

the res tank is like almost full and the expanshion
tank is empty but if i loosen the cap the air rushes
out and if fills up a bit .. so i bring the res tank
down to the max line and carry on .. it works alright
. i get heat then i loose it.. when i want lots of
heat . it only works for a bit then its ice cold ..
... after highway driving lots if idont check it i get
the light bulb blinkin away and i goto do the cap
think take the air out and refill it .. empty the res
tank.  . now im thinking could it be the expanshion
tank cap .. its lettin the water out. but .. maybe its
not bring it back in when its needed and thus bring in
air that way ? .. maybe..  what yea think .

BTW: i did a compression test and the cylinders are
holding there all good.
