I have a new (clone) radiator, new water pump, and a new thermostat on my 89
Vanagon.
I assume I followed all the instructions in the Bentley book to bleed it.
The temperature gauge is still showing higher than normal temperature.  Page
19.16 refers to a bleeder in the engine compartment; the picture is too
dark, I can't find it.  Is it the same as the breather valve on the top of
the thermostat housing?

Can anyone guide me to successfully bring down the temperature?
