C32 AMG w203 engine temperature question....
I have a quick question.
My 2002 C32 AMG engine temperature usually stays around 80C on the gauge but usually if I drive it a lot in a whole day, at night while the car is idle the engine temperature could rise to about 95C then creeps down again slowly when the car is in motion.
My auxiliary fan is working, my water pump is fine, everything else is pretty much fine.... Is this type of temperature ups and downs considered normal ?
Thanks for the help.

normal
driving hard/idling = temps go up b/c increased work of engine or decreased air going across radiator/heat exchanger (when not moving) (around 95C and can be higher)
normal driving/moving = increased air = decreased temps (around 80C and can be higher)
