Default TEMP GAUGE
Why does my temperature gauge constantly go from three bars to two bars back and forth? This starting happening just a few days ago.

Your car is overheating. Check the coolant level in the radiator with the engine cold 1st. If it's low look for the leak.

If it was overheating, wouldn't it show on the temp gauge?

I know, but I'm not getting four bars. I'm getting two and three bars.

My mistake, I thought I read 4 bars.

Have you installed a low temp thermostat (spoon, mugen, etc)
