After reading all the consternation on the list about bleeding
wasserboxers, I've come to the conclusion that, for some reason, the
diesel cooling system is just plain easier to purge air out of.  I've
never had any problems bleeding my '82.  I wonder if it has something to
do with the I4's slightly simpler cooling hose routing?
