Yours is a 87ºC, and your thermostat needs replacement because is not closing.

VW dsahboard coolant temp indicatro says 90ºC if real temp from coolant temp sensor says 70 to 102ºC, so if yours says 80 fuel sensor is getting maybe 65ºC.

Ask your repair shop to change thermostat and coolant sensor and put VW G12 coolant (G12+ it is a good option). IT's organic, not water with chemical that reacts when you mix different cheap coolants.
I'm using a 12€ per 5L like this:

It should be liquid from -37ºC to 145ºC.

Excellent- many thanks! I shall investigate the thermostat, and getting it replaced. Certainly does sound like its running cold.

A new thermostat appears to be under £10, so not a massive investment. Coolant is simple enough to get too.
