Temperature gauge is it getting higher than normal. You sounded as though you're leaking coolant in the combustion chamber which can be caused by a blown headgasket.

Suggested Repair

Check whether the temperature gauge runs higher than normal and look for coolant loss. White smoke when accelerating can indicate coolant entering the combustion chamber, often from a blown head gasket.
