Read closer, There is a bleeder screw on top of the radiator once you remove
the grill. You have to jack the front of your vanagon up about 6 inches and
open the bleeder screw until you get just fluid and no air. I have also opened
the bleeder cold and filled the radiator with a modified soda bottle and a
fountain pen glued to the cap.

No, I was not told to do that, and nothing I read in my bently says so, or
maybe I missed it. I will look into it thank you.

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:
http://www.benplace.com/bleeding.htm
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.

Have a 85 vanagon that blew the top off of coolant and found it was the sensor
seal had blown off and rings broken. Whe got new sensor, and filled main tank
and reserve tank-turning the van on still shoots up too hot, do I have to max
out the main tank with coolant fluid so it touches the sensor tips?? I mean
that's obvious right, or not?
