Warming up the Engine?

Hi guys,

Do you guys warm up the engine for a few minutes before driving off, like 1st thing in the morning? But the thing is, how much is enough? I usually let the temp rise to the 1st notch before I will drive off. It takes about 2 minutes for the temp to rise and the engine idling drops below 1k.

Happy Chinese New Year to Chinese members.

Re: Warming up the Engine?

I usually start, then do seatbelt, clean the windscreen if needed then drive off. Says in the manual not to wait for the engine to warm up.

Of course if the car is frozen then I'll start it and leave it running while I de-ice the windows.
