Raise the front of the van 10cm or 40cm, depending on which version of Bentley you believe, warm up the van until the thermostat opens, hold the engine at 2000 RPM with the pressure cap off, and crack the bleed screw on the radiator. It's a 13mm on the passenger side, top. Don't take is all the way out, just loosen it. Add coolant/water mixture as needed in the tank, and watch the stream coming out of the radiator. When it runs free of bubbles, you can close the screw. Make sure to close the pressure cap before you drop the engine below 2000 RPM or it will blow hot coolant everywhere. Some guys do this process several times over a week or so to make sure you get all the bubbles. tx, bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...." > From: Chris Winesette <Chriswinesette@AOL.COM> > Reply-To: Chriswinesette@AOL.COM > Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2002 10:53:32 EST > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: Bleeding the front radiator > > What is the best way to bleed the front radiator? >
