I inspected everything again today without success. It takes time to heat and reach just over 82°( starting and driving 4 km in the city). I don’t think the thermostat is blocked.
Would anyone have a idea, please?
Thank you.

Hello mate!
Is your coolant temperature a concern?
Mine gives me in cruising mode between 75 & 85°, sometimes even 70°, controlled by Torque Pro. My engine works a treat and I'm not at all intrigued or anxious. Temperatures are lower when fuelling with full E85 (ethanol). Besides I've swapped for a slightly bigger radiator and have a slightly modified air intake giving more breath. If the engine is left in stand by for a few minutes the temperature is growing over 80/85° indeed.
