Is the temp gauge reading ok. Usually 90 once up to temp?

Does it just happen when the weather is cold?
My passat gives a warning once the outside temp goes below 4 celcius.

The temperature reaches 90 but doesnt go over , so I dont think the emgine is overheating, when the light started to flash the temperature outside was normal not too cold.

Do you have a diesel or petrol and what type of fuel consumption do you get.

The steering is also a bit heavy.

I have a 130bhp tdi 6 speed.

At the moment I am getting just over 50 mpg.
Just over 600 miles to a tank. Mix between motorway and urban driving.

Steering is not heavy at all. I suppose check power steering fluid level and tyre pressure.
