Seeing Eye has a Toyota Prius that they use during training. I can hear them
coming unless there is other traffic. Then too, I play a good bit of golf and
the first time I heard a hybrid I asked if someone was driving a golf cart on
the street. They are actually quieter than a cart.

Bob you mentioned follow the top radiator hose to locate engine thermostats.
In most cases I agree with you. But there are exceptions to the rule. Example

Hi guys,
In a hale Mary attempt to bleed the system, can you use your stant radiator
pressure tester and crack the top heater hose until you get a good coolant
flow?
That is how we had to do it on the pre 1991 Mercedes cars.
