Temp gauge looks OK.

The other photo - it's not clear what the 101C is - is it the engine temp? Or tyre temp

Hi mate, those operating temps are fine.

well within normal operating range (unfortunatly) thats where they are designed to run. the theory is that cars run more economical when hot and make better power when slightly cooler

Is this just for VE's ?
I have a VX 2001 just done a full service flushed cooling system and temps been fluctuating on 25 degrees or less outside between 88-93..

today on the way home from work I got a shock and it got upto 101 I was like WTF ! and I didn't even hear the fan kick in so I turned the air con on so the fan would start..

what temp does the fan usually get enabled at ?

from what i hear about Saudi driving that would be ok, but maybe you should have the coolant system flushed and put in new coolant

On a hot day this is pretty normal. Today in brisbane it was about 30 and my temp read 101

ss-1 ... I'm from KSA too, your car is normal no need to worry

just watch the Trans.sump temp., cuz we have the 4-speed, if it reaches 104 don't push it more, although mine reached 105 and still working great

i have the same car and mine does exactly the same i pluged my obd2 live data stream and the coo lant temp gets to 226f which i think is 107C and then the fan kicks in and it drops it only gets that high when idiling i thought mine was a bit hot aswell but i guess its not
