Default Audi A3 1.8T 2001 - high coolant temperature

Hello All,

I have my car from a few weeks and i found something that I don't know if it is a normal or not and would like advice from you. The thing is that when I drive my car through traffic jam and car reaches normal working temperature, I checked the coolant temperature from the climate control panel, code 49 which is displaying coolant temperature and it shows that temperature is 104 degrees = 219 Fahrenheit (on the car board temperature is constantly 90 degrees all the time). So can anyone tell me if this is normal?
Second thing is that when car temperature goes up to 104 degrees my electric fans (both) simultaneously start in order to cool down the car. As far as I know normally cars have two speeds regarding two temperature scales. I have performed some research and found that electric fans takes temperature value from electric sensor (mine is black one and I don’t know if it needs to be green).
I would like to thank you in advance for your updates.
BR

Hello,

I forgot to mention that car has been served with new part (belts, water pump, thermostat, rolls….)
