It allDepends on the fan switch that you have in there. For example , on mine it cuts in at roughly 87C. If it hasnt come on by 95 id be starting to get worried. Try and check the fan switch near the radiator. Unscrew it ( make sure you have a pan underneath the car because coolant will come out ) then check the numbers on there , which will tell you when the fan comes on. If it says something like 88 ( just an example ) but the fan doesnt come on then, then get a mechanic to take a quick look.
