I've not done anything with the cooling system yet since I've owned the van. I want to eliminate/rule out the easy stuff first (e.g. air in the radiator) before I assume there's something more seriously wrong. The radiator looks brand new by the way, which corroborates the prior owner's claim that it had been recently replaced. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
