You are wasting your money.  If your rad. is only 3 years old, from
new, and you are running hot, its not the rad.  You would have had
to dump pure mud in it, and at 3 years old, that would easily flush
out. What clogs a rad. is the constant heating and cooling in the rad.
Vanagons don't cycle that fast, giving them longer life. with clogging.
There is lots of other reasons for a Vanagon to run hot.
