I wasn't sure if you can answer this.  Since I'm going on a trip, I had the
coolant changed.  They put in autobahn coolant.  I had no problems prior to
this coolant change.  My temp guage always was at the 1/2 mark.  Right after
the coolant change, my guage now goes higher up to the 3/4 mark.  I talked to
the repair shop and they said changing coolant couldn't cause this.  They said
they bleeded system correctly and there are no air bubbles.   My vanagon never
went past the 1/2 mark and now when I just wait for a traffic light it goes
higher than 1/2 mark.  The repair shop is now saying maybe I need a  thermo
switch.  I'm confused bec I never had any problems until I got coolant
changed.
 Repair shop says coolant change couldn't have done this.  Any suggestions or
ever hear of this problem? I was only doing preventive maintaince by changing
coolant and now it appears I have a problem.
