Ok, while there's no bubbles coming out of the radiator and coolant is all good (no air pocket in the system), I noticed some other symptoms attributed to this problem...
The exhaust system is pushing out a lot of smoke and fuel consumption seems to be increased, going by the stuffed-up needle and how it usually behaves. Even though all air in the cabin is sealed (windows are up, vents closed), I can still smell exhaust in the cabin when this occurs.
Also when decelerating in a low gear (like 2nd), the car shudders like the drivetrain distribution is temporarily out and it's shuddering back and forth, like the same that would happen if the car were dead-cold and you were accelerating instead.
I've no idea about this problem now, but it seems to not be limited to the cooling system, and maybe into the car's engine control, like MAP sensor or ECU, something like that.
Anyone heard of an A'PEXi Power FC f*cking up or losing tune? I know the MAP sensor is dicky, but it hasn't posed any problems lately.
