I have a 2002 Pathfinder. I have an issue with the heat gauge when cold temps set in (below -5 overnight).
Basically the heat gauge will rise to the H and after driving for a bit (5 mins to 1 hour) it will snap back to the middle.
I did the thermostat twice thinking it was sticking and last fall I did the coolant temp sensor. I follow the temp with an OBD2 that links to my phone and temp goes no higher when its reading high then when it sits in the middle. It does seem a bit high though (110C) but I dont know if that's normal for a pathfinder.
The water pump isnt leaking and doesnt seem to be giving me any signs it needs replacing.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
