Sounds like the cooling system on the vehicle needs to be bled correctly. As the engine gets warmer, the coolant level will rise. Bubbles in the engine block may only be able to escape once the thermostat has opened, allowing the coolant from the block to circulate back to the radiator.

A couple months after the gauge kept going up and back down after a couple of seconds. Thought it needed to be bled. Tried bleeding. Thought all air was out so turn off car to take the funnel out and replace cap when all of a sudden all of the coolant comes bubbling out. The car was off!! Any idea as to what is going on?

The halfway point is what’s called “normal operating temperature”. This is the temperature your engine tries to maintain while it runs, and is completely normal.

You don’t want your temperature gauge to creep up past this point. You’ll only see this happen when your vehicle is overheating.

Some people put them in a pot of boiling water with a thermometer to see if they open and close as expected.

There are many things that could cause your vehicle to overheat. The thermostat is one of them. Check your coolant level to make sure you have enough coolant, and bleed the cooling system to make sure you don’t have any air pockets trapped anywhere.

Why is this happening?
