My Facelift TD sits at 85, rarely goes over this at any speed.........maybe when towing though.
Had a new stat fitted last year. Before this it barely moved.

Check the link in FAQ for normal running temps, but generally around midpoint

This should be the viscous fan then. I guess idling would be on as you say.
