mine does that as well, when it stood still it runs at 90deg then when it climbs to 100 /110 deg then cools down to 90deg i just thought it seemed high but i think its right as anothet guy said he,s did the same and yours does. :wink:

Yeah, I always get worried when im sat in traffic that its going to overheat big style. Its something that im looking into sorting by fitting an aftermarket adjustable temp controlled fan
