Default Engine working temperature??

Ok here is the question. What is the normal working temperature for an audi 100, 2.3e (1992) When i drive my temperature is normal 90. But when i stand in traffic it goes to allmost 100. I gess around 95 or a litlle more. My fan is running so i wonder is this normal?

from what I see, fan on temp sensors are around 92-95, thermostats are around 87. You seem to be within your temperature ranges alright

as long as it's not going over 100 and you have a fan coming on. Find out for sure if you have 2 fan speeds, and test the circuits if you feel the one is not working

mhm. Its not going over 100. So how do i check the speeds of the fan. I know that the fan speeds up when the car is hot and you add gas. So does this mean that is working ok?

Oh, nm I wasn't aware are you car had a viscious fan, that fan will vary with heat. Is your electric fan working?

viscious fan is controlled all by itself, no electronics required there. The viscious fan should be the only one used most of the time and electrical aux is kinda a backup. As long as both of your fans are working properly, and based on the temps your giving me, i don't think you have a problem. What position are the numbers on the gauge in? what number is in the middle?

90 is positioned litlle to the left, so in the middle i would gess its around 95 and then slightly to the right is 100.
