Thumbs up Too HOT

With the A/C on going up hills and stop and go traffic 100c is a high normal when idling. Do you have the Aux fan, and does it work if so? I would think that is a bit high though. How long since you replaced the thermostat ? Or, maybe the radiator needs cleaned from the outside, fins. Behind my aux fan was dirt, twigs, grass, and bird feathers. Or, maybe the radiator needs flushed. Or, worst case, replaced. Or, maybe your water pump is shot. Any coolant leaks? I would start with the easiest and cheapest first. Keeping the cooling system straight is no waste of time.
