If it stays in the zone except when you are at an intersection your gage is fine, and your mechanic is not using his/her head to diagnose. At issue is low velocoty coolant flow at idle, all my 120s have had this after a hard run....if your choke cable is set properly the 1st 1/2" or so of travel raises the idle without making the mix richer (as it's not really a choke you know) so when it gets hot raise the idle it should cool off immediately.
