My new B is overheating like a crazy car.
Every time I drive it, the temp gauge slowly creeps up, and by and by,
it gets up *almost* to the red. The couple times it did get in the red,
I let cool off. It won't always stay up, either. The gauge will go
back down, especially when I get it on a long, fast drive with some wind
going under the bonnet. After the temp. is up for a while, the oil
gauge also starts to drop. I have checked the hoses, and replaced the
radiator to overflow hose, because it was leaking- topped off the
coolant, etc. The top radiator hose gets hot, so the thermostat is
opening. What else could I be missing? The fans work, too. (this is a
'79)
Please help!!!!
