It is starting to get a bit chilly up here and I was wondering how long I should technically let the car warm-up before driving? I am sure that there is a recommended lenghts of time and an actually lenght of time that people are doing it. So, lets hear it...how long?

OK, time to hear from the barbarian.
I've been known to throw a towel over the engine lid...leaving uncovered only the side holes to do a quick warm up. I trailer my car to the AX and am usually too busy to do any kind of decent warm up. When the gauge mooves off the peg (50C), it's time to go. Last AX, it never got to 80C. this stuff is gonna cause my motor to expire before it's time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |
