Sounds little warm, dial should be in the centre of readings.

Done a coolant flush? Got a good 50/50 mix of anti-freeze in there?

When i arrived in Poland i've changed water pump, thermostat including sensor (aftermarket) and radiator fan 4 pin sensor.
She is still getting hot. I've flushed radiator and put new anti freeze coolant.
Could it be temperature gauge?
I also place external temperature sensor in overflow tank and in it was 90C
I'm lost lol

I'm having similar problems, my V6 is running at around 97 around town and 90 on the motorway. I've flushed it twice over the past 6 weeks which has helped, I'm thinking about replacing the radiator as I think it may still have some blocked channels.
