Well, did you raise the front (and rear!), i won't elaborate on that subject
to much but to make a long story short:
Run the van, raise the front, bleed the van!!! (and rear would help also on
the 1.9L)
I just did my 84 and it took 4 bleeding before the temp was back to normal,
i also raised the back the last time.
My conclusion is that there is a big difference (bleeding system) between
the 1.9L and 2.1. (1.9 is missing the self bleeding ring in the back!!!big
difference!

The 1.9L will never get rid of those remaining bubble, the 2.1L will!!!
It's a pain in the but!!!

>>>>>>>I have just replaced a heater hose. I have read the threads and
Bentley about bleeding.

I am not sure about how much bleeding to do front and rear.

The front seems to be done when the coolant pours out, right?

I still seem to have a lot of bubbles, small, as I run the system open and
closed.

I have a blinking red light until hot and suspect air in the system.

What next<<<<<<<<<
