I just figured out it happens when I put the a/c on... the higher blower level, the higher and faster the needle moves towards the red. But why? And what's the solution?
It's definately not lack of coolant, although he did add it at 100% full strength (Over the past few days, I've been siphoning out most of the coolant in the reserve tank and putting in pure bottled water to decrease the antifreeze % --- it's still too high to register a significant decrease on a hydrometer...
Regarding an air pocket,; it's been a few days, shouldn't it have cleared up by now?
