Not really sure what this can be. No signs of a leak.

I have 2 videos. Quality is just plain bad but it shows what i need to show.

One shows when it warms up. It is under C and then in a couple of seconds it goes up to norm operating temp.

Second one shows when its at norm operating temp and then goes up slowly. Only seems to heat up at idle. As soon as the temperature goes up i accelerate and then the temperature suddenly goes back to normal.

Not sure if this might be a sensor problem. I have never really encountered this kind of problem where the temperature would change so fast.

Any ideas what it can be?

Bingo. This is usually the cause of this type of problem. I bet your heater blows cold air when the engine is overheating as well.
