I have never heard of a worldwide problem with 85s having blinking temp LEDs. I have heard quite a bit about mechanics that are full of S#*%!

I had the blinking LED problem with my bus and it was merely a cruddy electrical connection at the fluid level sensor in the expansion tank. Sounds like your problem may be the system being improperly bled as stated above. But, again, the real problem is your mechanic. Please let us know the shop so no one else makes the mistake of going there. Thanks, Jeff 83.5 Westfalia LA,CA
