[Vwdiesel] More Dasher?

[Dana Morphew]

I've got a 1 1/2" coolant pressure gauge mounted, and it generally rides at 7 or 8 
psi.  When I climb hard it will hit 10 psi.  The clear hose running between the 
coolant tank and the gauge may lend some stretch but not enough to throw the 
readings off much more than half a psi.  This is a 1.9 IY in the Caddy.
