News!!!  the pump was remove, good, a test was done without the rad, engine
running  to she flow (don't ask me how they did that but i think they put  a
transparent piece of tubing???), flow is good, rad put back, return flow  not
good... but some, still, they put everything back together, bleed the  van MY
way... engine hot, rad always cold!!! (main line going in front was  VERY
slowly getting hot, i feet a minute or something like that!, before  the line
was hot at the front, the engine was too hot)

Those COOL  mechanic look pretty nice to me, they took the rad to a rad shop
40 miles  away, will return later with a rebuilt rad??? OR, and that is the
funny  part, fit one there! None VW.....

She will call me back at the end of  the day...





See, what did I tell you  ??  Those Mex Mechanos can perform miracles.  I'm
sure they will get  it fixed for her, just stand by if they truly "need" some
parts.  Otherwise  they are able to make what they need.  Something we have
lost in our  culture.
