I forgot....
"""""""""how much more would I need to drain to change the thermostat
and/or water pump? """"""""""""


Can you jack the read end???? if yes, jack it as high as you can, don't
drain it under the left side water jacket as sugested per Bentley, simply
remove Expension tank and water pump, i would say....you will loose about 3
liters / quarts of coolant. Also, when the rear end is in the air, there is
no need to bleed a 2.1L. One other thing, change the thermostat before you
raise the van, less coolant will be lost.


Am draining so many Vanagon those days....am starting to be a coolant
specialist...he he he


Nice to see some people who care about environnement...


As a shop, i have to pay for that, it would be cheaper and easier to poor it
in the toilet...


Cheers, Ben
