Slow starter....
#17
Was told at college that water is better for cooling than antifreeze, as I understood it its only there to stop freezing and rust doesnt help cool in any way, so theoretically it should heat up quicker if you've now got a stronger concentration of anti-freeze to water.

I still don't really understand why HDis run so cold anyway, every other car I've had has warmed up within ~5 miles and sat around 90. HDi barely reaches 75, but takes atleast 10 miles to get to 70! Does anyone know when the cold map cuts off, like what temp?
