Subject:vanagon running hot when its over 80 degrees
From:Jordan Coxen

I have an 84' Vanagon with an 88' 2.1 motor.  I recently bought it and I
am new to Vanagons, but have always owned Volkswagens.  I just installed
new Spanish heads which work great.  The Vanagon runs perfect with the
temperature gauge in the always in the middle: But when the temperature
is over 80 or 85 degrees, water temp jumps to 2/3 or 3/4 on the factory
gauge.  I am thinking of installing a more accurate gauge to better
monitor this temperature change.  The fan does work.  Has anyone had
this problem?  Maybe try a different thermostat?  I would appreciate any
advice.
