If you are using the dash gauge as a reference, I would not be surprised. The temp gauges in these cars are notoriously inaccurate and non linear. On cars with aftermarket gauges, it becomes a different story. And the fan actuating temps are controlled by code in the DME, and not very easy to alter.
