Laurence,

If you have everything ready to go you can replace the Temp II with a minimum
of coolant loss (a couple of tablespoons).  Be sure the engine is really cool
when you do it.  Move quickly but carefully.

Subject: Temp sensor II replacement

I have a in my 90 Vanagon Westy.

Does anyone know if I replace the Temperature Sensor II if I should expect a
gush of coolant?  This sensor is the one on the thermostat housing.  I am
hoping it is isolated form the coolant so as to avoid refilling and bleeding
the cooling system.

Thanks.
