David,
        Your boil-over may be a stuck (closed) thermostat... $18 part. Have you
checked it? Just put it in water, heat it up and see if it opens..

     Subject: FS: 85 Wolfsburg Westy $2250

     MUST SELL

     Asking price: $2250
     Location: Central NJ, USA

     She originally came from TX moved to CA and then to NJ about 5
     years ago.
     Passed strict NJ state inspection with flying colors less than
     4 months ago!
     New windshield, all fuel lines replaced, recent tuneup including plugs,
     rotor, cap, wires, air filter, fuel filter. New water pump. All windows
     behind cab are tinted, New cup holders. Center console. Rear
     hatch screen.
     Bentley manual, extra oil filters and fuel filter. Lots of
     service records.
     Upgraded instrument cluster with tach and digital clock. Clean
     title and
     Carfax!

     She's a Wolfsburg Westy so no kitchen, one jumpseat behind
     driver with big
     storage bin underneath.

     215k, minimal seam rust, AC installed but not working, small
     dent on rear
     passenger side panel, (see pictures) overheats to boil-over
     (may be leaky
     head gasket or blockage in coolant lines, but mechanic tested
     and found no
     trace of combustion gasses in coolant...) you'll probably want
     to tow her
     wherever you're taking her.

     I just don't have the time, money or space for her any longer.

     Otherwise looks great, Runs excellent, shifts smooth,
     interior, curtains,
     carpets and poptop in great shape!  She really is beautiful, and fun to
     drive and travel in, just needs someone who can give her a
     little TLC and
     fix up her cooling issues.
