Okay, for Some reason my temp gauge is rising after fast driving. On the highway there isn't any problem but when I drive to my house slowly temp is rising for some weird reason.

Car is not overheating!!

If I drive normal there isn't any temp rising only after fast driving.

Already bleed the rad for air and I thought it was all good until now.

Also temp gauge is reacting when I switch the lights on (xenon).

Both hoses are hot, fan Kicks in, no sludge on oilcap or rad cap..

Oh and today the fan kept going when I had the car on contact. If I start the car then the fan stops! (This was when the car was hot and after I drove away from the gas station) Never had this before.

So what could it be? Bad rad, bad fan (not full blast spinning) thermostat, temp gauge?

It's a EK3 hatchback.
 
Did Some normal driving and when the car stands still and when I let the car idle for a couple of mins temp gauge Goes slowly up..

The fan does kick on but temp is not really going down.. It's a little above the midsection

Anybody?
 
Does the fan turn back off again?
 
Yes.. Fan turns back off again..

Then a couple mins the fan turns back on and temp is going back to normal
 
Sounds perfect to me mate
 
But why after fast driving the temp goes up when I'm almost home? I don't really get that..

Nothing happens when I'm on the highway and hitting high rpm and vtec..
