did the temp gauge reach the red mark when your car in stand still (e.g. at traffic light)? when the car moving, the needle come back to the middle?last time my car got this symptom and the problem came from a broken thermostat. Better go for a check as overheating may cause serious damage to your car engine

Yes bro, it happends most of the time when the car is slow moving, a few times it stayed in the red zone and never come down, i need to bleed the system and then it's okey for few days and the problem starts back, i replaced the termostat and water pump few months back ago, so i'am not sure..the fan also works when i pop up the hood...

oh oh...if you bleed and ok for only a few days...and yr stat and WP plus fan working.....then yr head gasket looks like koyak ady.my advise is to go for a compression test.the best way to confirm things.........

Been using for 1 week daily and temp has been on middle no over heat, checked the black oil cap no signs of coolant slips inside the engine (no milky present seen) & also there is no coolant leakage...but the coolant low light has been flashing in & out, is this normal. the light is on for 10 mins then vanish away before it comes back after few hours or next day...! i'am just blur :motz:
