Did you bleed the air out of the cooling system? I've never done it on a
gas powered water cooled Vanagon, but here's a procedure that I found
online:

This procedure starts with draining the coolant, so you might want to skip
to the part that says "To bleed, your choice:"
You might also want to make sure that the thermostat is indeed opening and
not stuck shut.
