"80c is a struggle" is exactly why I'd be putting a screen in front of part of the radiator. In fact i have to make a home Depot run in an hour and it's 2F out I'll be doing just that. Last run temp never got over 90 on a 40-50 min. round trip.

Whatever the heat profile is on a 15c day I would want to see similar.

I don't know what the thermostat opens at or if on the diesel it adjusts the coolant temp on the fly but when it's above freezing out my engine will run about 108 and drop to mid 90s under load.
