Yeah they commonly run at that temp but now mines at 90 the injectors are silent, its sounds smoother, the idle doesn't fluctuate as much and there is less smoke. Win win win win haha.
Only time will tell how the MPG is affected by the new stable temperature.
90 degrees is _NOT_ every other car out there... Near modern Commonrail Diesel, lots of high performance petrols - you're going off f*cking VW gauges that say 90* when that's 100% billy bollocks.
What Bosch part number is your ECU? I'm going to guess it's 0281 001 976.
Judging by the fact by 90*C there is corrective action to reduce the temperature, i.e. the fans coming on a few degrees later. Everything in the cars is designed to make them run at 83*C.
STOP going off the wank gauge in the car, at LEAST get PP2k/Torque or another OBD tool to give you the temperature, it sounds like you've had the dash apart, so the calibration is now definitely to cock even if you think you've put the gauge back on in the right place.

Lying according to what?
