2002 Audi TT Question Front Wheel Drive Manual 45000 miles

I HAVE JUST DRIVEN A SIMILAR TT TO MY OWN AND NOTICED A SIGIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURE GUAGE. WHEREAS MINE HOVERS JUST BELOW THE RED 100 OC MARK (IT REACHES THIS WITHING HE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING) MY FRIENDS LIES BEWEEN 75 - 80 OC.
SHOULD I BE CONCERNED AND SHOULD I ADDRESS THIS BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES?
THANK YOU

The temperature gauges are a common failure. The gauge should never read over 1/2 mark if it is working properly and not overheating.

The complete cluster will have to be replaced and coded to repair the faulty gauge.
