Subject:      blasting your radiator...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

really, mine comes on quite a bit... in hot southern cali... but... maybe I need to bleed the system... so I never thought of removing the radiator and taking it to a shop to have them clean it... you've done that?

> I think it is just a poorly designed system that works marginally.

In the ten years I have owned my Transporter I can only recall the high speed fan coming on a few times. I believe the radiator, when working efficiently, to be over engineered. In fact it is cheerfully retained by the lunatic fringe after a V8 transplant. My point is, maybe you should consider taking your radiator out and having it professionally blasted out. Personally, I do not recommend the do-it-yourself system flush.
