Hello everyone, thank you all for your ideas on my radiator fan issue. i
replaced the thermo switch. and its is working fine. but i have another
problem.. i am pretty sure i bled the system well.. (could someone please
send me a step by step idiot proof easy way to bleed?) but assuming i bled
the system well, i think i have too much antifreeze in there now though..
its around 0 degrees here (lander, wy) well today it got to 30 degrees but
tonight its -2 -3. If i let the van sit in the driveway and idle, i can get
it to get fairly warm, overheat even (not anymore the fan works now) but the
minute i start driving... my gauge goes down pretty quickly, which is great
for the summer.. but not now.. it goes so far down it pegs it self and looks
like its not reading at all (like when the van is not even on) how can i
flush out enough coolant and get more water in? is this my problem? Yes i
have a new thermostat in there too :) one last question... i have my van
owners manual. i have the heater controls set to be the hottest i can get
them. if im sitting its fine it will warm up the interior okay. but when im
driving.. somehow cold air gets mixed up in with the heater somehow... any
ideas? im really sorry for the long e-mail and all the questions.. i just
love my vanagon and want it to work correctly. thanks for any advice in
advance!
Cheers!
