Do you warm up?
Do you warm up?
Was just wondering...my car is always garaged overnight...but now that the temperature has dropped, I always let it idle for 5 minutes until the revs fall to the 900-1100 range and the temperature gauge goes up to the first marking before driving off....do you guys warm up yours or you just fire up and fire away???
Gord I warm mine up before setting off, more so in the cold weather :biggrin:
I try to let the turbo cool down when stopping/turning off, but that depends on how i was driving just before this :biggrin:
This, or at the very least restricted low rpm driving till it does warm up

I usually don't have time to warm the car up in the morning (I use it for work :lol: ) but I always take it easy and try to drive on minimal boost until the car is up to temperature. I also take it easy when I am almost at my destination to allow the car to turbo cool down and let the car idle for a few moments before turning it off.

hock: that must shiffft
I do drive more gently until it's warmed up though. When I get my turbo on I'll also be letting it idle before I switch off too, something that I don't bother with at the moment.
