This is a repost with more info: I just had an '83.5 w/c rebuilt. The engine runs fine but I'm having a problem with the cooling system. The temp guage stays steady at 3/4. The fan comes on a little past that. If I try to bleed the radiator, with the front end lifted, heat on etc., it boils out the back at the same time as it starts to bubble out the front valve. When I'm driving normally, the heat does not work but as soon as I go up a hill, the temp guage drops to the led (normal) and the heat starts to work. As soon as I level off, it's back to 3/4. What should I do from here? Thanks, Bryan 83.5 Westy 84 Vanagon 92 Jetta
