[W126 Coupe] Temperature gauge at about 10 PM on my 1989 560 SEC

[XKEOTS at aol.com]

Hi,

A few months back I had M/B clean my cooling system in my 89 560 sec and 
replace my anti freeze.
I still am getting (what I think) is a high motor temperature when sitting in 
stop and go traffic for any length of time.
Is 10-10:30 on my gauge normal in 30 degree outdoor temperature while stuck 
in traffic?
Once I get moving it goes back down to 7:30. (I can't see the numbers on the 
gauge without reading glasses, but I can see & remember where the needle is 
while driving). 
Even during the late summer with the a/c on it got to a point where I had to 
shut the a/c and put the heat on as it went to 11:00 and it was 80 degrees 
outside. (I hope that you can guess that I am using a wrist watch as a guide to 
relate where the needle is).
Thanks
Jack
