Subject:Coolant Pressure, was:High temp in the thermostat ?

Hi List,

  Thanks for all the insight and encouragement on this job !

  My High temp issue was resolved today after another bleed. Drove around
and dropped off some some old coolant and oil to be recycled, hit 55-60 and
the needle hung right in the middle !

   Ok I know no new discoveries in vanagon history here. However, when I got
to where I was going I noticed leaking from the radiator. Darn the bottom
hose seems a bit crusty and seems to be the culprit. What I thought was
strange was, when I got home it wasn't just the radiator hose leaking but
the coolant expansion tank was leaking out of it's side and it seemed rather
vigorously bubbling in there.

  Coincidence or could there be a pressure problem that is causing these
week links to go. Well time to realy check the hoses and order more.

Thanks for reading, have a good weekend Volks!
