Hi all. Recently i had an issue with the thermostat housing, being that it was cracked and leaking so i decided it was time to replace this. Also a few times when driving the coolant temperature would reach 100 Celsius or more. But it averaged 96 degrees Celsius.
After replacing the thermostat housing, which came with a new thermostat and pump. (I reused the old temperature sensor)
The leak has been fixed but the cars temperature seems to low now. On an average drive for about an hour the car would run anywhere between 72 degrees and 82 degrees. When stationery the temperature would increase up to 90, but as soon as i start driving it decreases again.
Could this be a faulty thermostat even though it was brand new. Or could it be because i didnt replace the temperature sensor?
Below are a few photos which show the oil temperature respective of the coolant temperature. Wondering if i could get someones elses knowledge to help out. Thank you

(When the car has been driven normally for after 40 minutes)
