Diesel warm up time
Discussion
The Saab diesel (72k miles 3yrs old) I have recently purchased, takes about 10 miles (of mainly motorway) driving to get up to temp. I don't remember the pug diesel I had taking this long.
Is this normal, if not what might be the problem, or should I just get the cooling system checked?
TIA

I believe it is the vauxhall engine, although saab have made some mods to it.
It is (well mine is) rather rattly until warm (longer than it should be at the moment
) and it is probably a little underpowered (mine is 115bhp) but that can be improved. The mid-range is O.K, and I am getting around 45mpg.
I bought it as I didn't want a BMW/Merc and also needed the hatch.
The new saloon is much better all round apparently.
