I'll reiterate....

Be most cautious using a radiator stop leak in your Vanagon.  It *may*
seal the leak. (probably not though)  It *will* plug the radiator.  At
least in my experience.  Doesn't really show up until your SO is two
thousand miles away, in the middle of the Mohave desert in August,
with a car full of kids. (And she gets a gold plated attaboy!  She
drove it home without blowing it up.!!!)

When it got home, I replaced the radiator and all the overheating went
away. Prior to that, it would overheat in about twenty minutes.  Just
slowly got warmer and warmer until the temp guage pegged and the light
came on.  Sit at the side of the road for an hour and do it all over again.
