There are 2 bleed nuts on a VL. Bleed the one on the thermostat housing first, then the one on the top of the inlet manifold. Once you have bled both, only add coolant through the reservoir...not the radiator cap. |

Hi barney.
Is it getting hot at low (traffic) speeds or is it getting hot at highway speeds.
This will help diagnose it.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
