Hi John
I guess I should've also noted the type of engine in the main body of my
email.
Sorry about that.

This is regarding a vanagon 2.1 WBX.

I was referring to the hose that connects the long metal pipe around engine
bay, to upper (5/8" ?) nipple on the expansion tank.

As far as I know, air bubbles are NOT flowing into this tank all the time.

Searching the archives, it seems the fault **may** lie at the blue cap at
that tank, which was replaced  during the cooling system rebuild.

Neil

Air bubbles were flowing from that hose in to the expansion tank
