Subject:Running hot

Hello,

I've bled the system in my '85 Vanagon GL a couple times and it's still running kind of hot. The gauge stays around the white zone when cruising in town, but when I hit the highway (50-60 mph) it always stays around a bit above the red light in the middle. Is this too hot?

After driving on the highway, if I open the engine compartment, the coolent reservoir is about half full of air. I open the top to let the air out without letter any water escape. Does this help getting air out of the system and if I keep doing this will it correct itself?

Also, my AC doesn't seem to work at all. How expensive/dificult is it to getrecharged?

Also, will JCWhitney and walmart replacement hubcaps fit my van?

Thanks,
Ben
