Do the fans cut in? If not then it could be the sender to the ECU if yes then check the water levels. Did yhey drain the coolant at the service? If yes then I suspect an air lock. 105 isnt too bad but much over then then worry.

there is another ribbon cable, smaller that runs from the main light switch (the twisty one). to an exposed pcb board inside all the covering around the steering column which then connects to the wires going back to the control boxes... check that one as well
