Alfa 156 2.0 TS - Temperature

[1750 Alfaholic]

Hi any 156 owners,

I've had a 2.0 156 for a couple of years, and was wondering what the "normal" running temperature should be.

Driving along a a reasonable speed , with an ambient temperature of 10-20 deg. Celcius (50 - 70 Fahrenheit) the guage shows 70 Celcius (160 F). It rises to just over 90 C sitting in traffic, when the fan cuts in.

Is this normal, or should it be nearer 85 or 90 C ?
