Frequently when first starting out for the day the water temp gauge will go to hot, light comes on and in 2 to 3 seconds the light goes off and the temp gauge goes down. Not loosing coolant to speak of. Have replaced thermostat housing that was leaking from crack and thermostat. I think it might be a thermostat sticking and after first opening works normally. Anyone else experienced anything like this? If so what fixed it? I will probably replace thermostat and put on new gasket/o ring. Just looking for any possible causes I might not be thinking of.
