My commute is only ~20 minutes though too. But it's usually warmed up by then

I'm at straight up 12 O Clock about 3 minutes after leaving my driveway.

Thanks Ryan!

Even on cold mornings? My car also sits outside and of course on colder mornings it takes longer to warm up than it would after being privileged with a night in the garage

I'm normally at temp by the time I leave my development and pass under I80 dalton, if you know where I mean.

Yeah but that's summer. It's different now that mornings are colder.


How about this little piece I left out. While installing my alarm siren last week, I shut one of the valves to the air conditioning/heating unit (?) in the firewall and forgot to put it how it was before I buttoned it all back up.

You can see the flap i closed here in this pic. It's on the right side and the flap that opens/closes is surrounded by a foam type of stuff.

It still warms up fine does not take much longer... I will double check on my way to work Thursday.

Congrats, Woot!

I believe 87-90 celsius is what most were seeing here? Someone affirm that please.

Verified. Mine is at a constant 89-90 at the track. It's the same temperature when putting around town or on the highway.

With the colder temperatures, the water temperature is at operating temp by the time I reach my exit on the highway, which is two short exits. Approximately 2-3 miles total, with about half a mile of that around town before I get on the highway. It's very quick, within 3-4 minutes the car is warmed up completely. Heated seats nice and toasty by the time I finish merging onto the highway.

[danewilson77]

Outside temp has a minimal effect on mine as well.
