Slow warm up on AU3

[private9]

Hi All,

I've searched, and I do remember a thread about this a while ago, but haven't had much luck.

Basically I've noticed that my AU3 I6 seems to take forever to warm up compared to other cars I've owned, or even compared to EF/EL's I've had, as well as the AU2 that I'm driving at the moment.

As the majority of our driving is very short trip stuff, quite often the poor car will go for days without ever really warming up. Meaning that firstly the heater doesn't warm up much during our short drives, and secondly the engine's mostly running cold so it uses alot more fuel that it needs to.

I remember reading something a while ago about a way to speed up the warm up time, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
From memory, the particular thread I recall, said that this was an AU3 specific thing.

Any suggestions, as I'm sure alot of people would be interested in ways of changing this?

Thanks,

Justin.
