Anyone Had This Happen

Ok so My Clio Temperature gauge has started acting strange. It used to always stay around halfway 4 bars illuminated. Now It keeps dropping to 2 bars even when warm. Then It will go to 4 bars for a bit then back down too 2 bars. Car is running fine. Coolant level is fine. Not using any coolant. I am hoping This is nothing sinister. Has anyone else had this experience

Be very grateful for any replies.

Dont suppose youve changed the coolant on it recently have you and you may not of bled it up properley ?

Either gonna a thermostat or a coolant temperature sensor, neither is expensive or particularly complicated!

Needs a new thermostat, mine was doing that a few weeks ago

Thanks for all the replies. How much would thermostat cost to get replaced?

I had this, changed the stat and no change, just unplugged the cables from the coolant sensor, gave a little spray to clean and plugged it back in and it's all good now not had a problem since!
