Cold morning start

[karan.jandu]

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone let's the car warm up from a cold morning start?
There's nothing mentioned in the manual - only to let the turbo cool down after driving at high speeds.

I tend to take Robert Peppers advice on the subject:

... idling a car before driving doesn’t warm it up. All you’re doing is using fuel and increasing wear while the engine runs cold. Instead, drive the car gently – light acceleration – immediately after starting so you’re applying light load to warm the engine up, but not enough for undue wear.

If you're somewhere really cold, this article may also be of use:
