95C-105C sounds normal. You can verify the temps by checking your oil temps on the MFA. Its always been pretty accurate for me. Before I did a coolant flush on my 91 Jetta temps got crazy. I would see my coolant gauge hit 3/4 or 7/8 and oil temps of 126C. Then I flushed it and filled it up with VW coolant and Distilled water. My temps are always lower than 1/2 (not by much) and my oil temps havent exceeded 116C (normal oil temps are 104C-110C). If you want to run cooler get Redline Wetter Water is suppose to drop temps 10C. My advice is to find a sure-fire way to measure temps and let me know because I'd like to do the same.
