When I was driving today I noticed the engine temp guage move into the red. I pulled over and let it cool down (this took about 20 seconds on the guage). Checked the coolant and everything was fine. Continuing the journey this kept happening, sometimes after 1 mile and sometimes after 10 miles. During driving when guage entered the red it would usually flick back to the normal position and repeat this every so often. The car engins didn't seem to be over hot. I take it that an engine that has hit the red zone would at least take a few minutes to return to the normal position if the engine was over heating.
Could it be a faulty stat?
Any ideas on what this problem could be or how to fix it?
