[QUOTE="StuF, post: 607218, member: 17262"] Thanks mate - havent really put enough miles on the bus yet to give you a firm answer, there is a large enough gap between the back of the rad and the crossmember to let the hot air out and we were cruising at 70 mph pulling the rapido over towards newark maintaining around 90 degrees without the fans kicking in so it seems to be working well. I think there is enough capacity to deal with most of the issues. The holes were added to facilitate connecting to the rad and the central one is from the old heater tube. Think a big part of preventing overheating is bleeding the system effectively and removing the air - that causes most of the issues ive read about, as im sure you read we used a pressure bleeder with the bus ass high in the air to help force the air out. And there was a fair amount of bubbling and air coming out every cycle. Once we have managed a longer run we'll see especially with the temps we are currently experiencing, have had the fans cut in when in standing traffic though and although you can hear them whirring its not obtrusive, might fit a switch at some point so I can have them running whenever I choose and basically override the ECU control. Future plans! Richard certainly makes quality parts! [/QUOTE]
