cooling problem UPDATED

[calimus at techography.net (Calimus)]

Brain,

	Don't know why I didn't even think to tell you to check that as well
since it happened to me right after I got my rocco.  Good catch though,
and as for the parts store retard, I know the feeling, I've been to a
few places like that.  Lucky for me, I live less then 1 mile from an
Advanced and two of the guy's there used to be into VW's so I never have
any problems with them.

Good luck, you'll have a puke free car in no time.
