But in slow, uphill driving it gets above 95C (but not quite 100). Both fans are running and the thermostat is recent - so back to the garage that fitted it I suppose.

Would a CTS fault show upon VCDS?
Yours seems like it could be genuine reading, temperature rising when load is higher or oncoming air speed lower.
