Default Temp gauge drops!

Hey , got a problem with my temp gauge. When its normal and i accelerate fast the gauge drops a little bit. And when i let off the gas it goes back up. Nothing happends when i accelerate slowly, only when i press the pedal to the floor.

Its really annoying me that I cant find the problem for it.

Have your water pump checked ASAP.

When the car is parked overnight and you come out in the morning you don't see any anti-freeze on the ground?

Check your coolant level to be sure you're not losing any.

Gurble,

I checked the coolant level this morning, the car has been in the parking for like 16 hours, and the coolant is still full.

Can it be that it has some air inside?

Had you recently had any work performed on the car that would have involved getting air into the cooling system?

Gville350,

I just had a maintaince done on the car, and they changed the coolant. But they didnt let the air go out. So now the issue is gone. Thanks for helping me.
