Combustion gasses into cooling system. Blocked radiator or cracked
radiator internal baffles allowing coolant to enter and return without
flowing through the core.

Subject: [Syncro] Engine overheating - Need Advice

Volks,

The Haus is in the shop and I could use some suggestions on what might
be
going on.

Headed out of town the other day and the engine began overheating.

Thought it might be a stuck thermostat ...but that doesn't seem to be
the
case.

Thermostat  and thermo switch changed and system properly bleed.

Idled engine for 20 minutes .... no problem.

Took test drive at highway speed .... 20 minutes ... no problem.

Back to the shop .... idled another 10-15 minutes ..... started boiling
over.

BTW .... fan didn't come on.

Any ideas.
