        Posting a response without considering what one has read is ...
        well, *you* figure it out!

        And my 91 Westfalia (106Kmi) runs hot when in stop and go situations,
        has been burped, bled, and otherwise ministered to. The coolant temp
        needle normally settles at the upper edge of the LED.I'm tempted
        to replace the water pump as a preventive measure...but then it's
        been this way since I got it in June'97.
