at 95 to 100C, after having gotten off the freeway and in stop and go traffic, the Aux (electric) fans should be on and the fan clutch should be starting to lock up. you should notice the increased engine sound when accelerating from a stop.

My E300 was right below 100C after getting off the freeway today; it was 98F outside.
