Re: Cabin heater taking too long? 850 97

posted by  someone claiming to be Vadim on  Mon Feb 5 16:15 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Dave,

do you wait till it gets warm at idle or start driving right away? The latter is the way to go. My S70 GLT starts getting warm (visually, by gauge needle movement) about 3-4 minutes after a cold start. It takes the engine another 2-3 minutes to reach its operating temperature, though.

I never push it hard when cold (withing 3500 rpm), but begin driving after 30-40 seconds after starting it up.

Cheers,

Vadim.
