Volks,


The Haus is in the shop and I could use some suggestions on what might be
going on.


Headed out of town the other day and the engine began overheating.


Thought it might be a stuck thermostat ...but that doesn't seem to be the
case.


Thermostat  and thermo switch changed and system properly bleed.


Idled engine for 20 minutes .... no problem.


Took test drive at highway speed .... 20 minutes ... no problem.


Back to the shop .... idled another 10-15 minutes ..... started boiling
over.


BTW .... fan didn't come on.


Any ideas.
