Hi
As above, hot is relative.
We have a GM Astra with the Z16XEP Engine. The thermostat on these does not even open until 105c (221f). They operate around 109c (228f). The cooling fan kicks in around 113c (235f)
GM do not give a gauge but you can access the coolant temp' via a hidden menu on the centre display.
You need to keep a 50/50 coolant mix and make sure the system is tip top condition.
I also have a Jeep with the Mercedes OM642 Engine. The gauge sits reassuringly just a knacker below half. No idea what the temp is but it has warm heaters in winter and gives no grief in summer so I am happy living in ignorance.
