  Subject: [VANAGON] Engine running hot




  My 87 2.1l is running hot. By hot I mean that the temp. needle is just above the led. When I go up hills I have to put the front heater on to keep the needle around the led. 


  How can I tell if it is the thermostat, waterpump, air in the system or even a faulty temp sensor or gauge?
  Is it OK to run at this temperature? My 86 2.1l never ran hot. 


  Thanks


  Mat
