So how long of idling we talking about? 5 seconds? a minute?

i live next to a nsl bypass so if i have been stretching the cars legs on the way home i make sure that i come off boost for at least a minute to let the temperatures come down before parking up and if i feel like i have really spanked the bitch i let her idle for another 30 secs :devil:

repost :

The manual:
"STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to fall."
