If it goes over 100 then get it checked out. I'm in Florida and my 210 and 202 are always at like 90ish its hot down here man. At night though driving mine is at 80

mine is always about 85 and I have never had any problems. These engines run hot (nice on very cold days as the heat comes up very quickly !)
Yours looks a tad high
Maybe try a flush, and add Water Wetter (supposed to help ?)

A flush will always help. But I doubt it will bring the gauge down. Like I said I'm in Florida and the already hot Mercedes engines get hotter here. When I lived in Connecticut and Tennessee in the winter they would stay right in the middle. It's been in the 80s here so mine is right where his is.
