Initial overheating.

I'm driving VW Golf 7, diesel, estate 1.6

When I start the engine from cold, as it heats up, the temperature gauge often quickly goes towards red, passing standard 90'

The unusual thing is, that when I slow down, idle, or switch off the engine for a minute, it starts cooling correctly and the dial stays on 90 for hours without any issue.

What can cause the initial overheating issue?
