Depends on the ambient to be honest - when I last left it to idle for ages (probably about an hour!) to be certain the idle was solid, and the lambda sensor was working without a hint of a fault, I don't think it turned the fan on, and that was set to 85 (from memory). It was about 24 degrees out that day I think, and the car was in the sun.

I guess you're still chipping ice off your windscreen in the mornings, way up in the north, so is it comparable?
