Default Help-suggestions?

My temperature gauge is fluctuating wildly. The needle will swing all the way to H (hot) then drop back down to a normal temperature reading. It does this contunually. Oil and coolant levels are normal. Any thoughts?

Yup, try bleeding the air out of the system.

There's a good set of instructions at the end of this DIY on changing the radiator hoses:
