I don't understand why anyone would want to change the temp the fans kick in it?
With a properly working thermostat and temp switch, low speed fans should come in around 95degrees and high speed about 107. That alone should be enough as far as the cooling system goes?
My gti didn't overheat once. Even with the low speed fan not working it never went over 107 as the high speed fan stopped any issues. They aren't dturbo engines with their stupid ally heads and boost which is a recipe for blowing gaskets, they're operating within their normal range or they'd have set the fan speeds lower. Bit daft having high speed fans coming on AFTER potential engine damage.
Mine used to bounce off the high speed fans all the time in summer and there were no signs of gasket failure when I stripped the 160k engine down...
