I would say don't use the A/C but being in Bahrian it's kind of a necessity huh??

If you have the ability, put the car on a scanner to see what the car is actually running at, as the stock gauge isn't the most accurate.

You could try and change the coolant temp sending unit for the in dash gauge, which is located on the driver side head. Those are known to fail from time to time, and would cause an erroneous reading.

Is the cars performance affected at all when the temp is showing so hot????

As for the water pump, take a look at it and see if it's leaking from the weep hole. If it is then you most likely need a new one.
