Attn: High mileage drivers - how do you warm up your car? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be volvoandvw on  Sat Aug 31 05:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]

So we know that most wear on an engine occurs on startup, which probably means the way you warm up your car is crucial for its longevity. I'm just curious as to how those of you who have over 100k on your volvos warm up your cars? Do you let it idle for a while or do you just start it up and drive away easy for a while?

I ask this because many VW owners I know claim that you should NEVER warm up a car by letting it idle. Others say, you should never drive it until its warmed up. Who is right? Well, I don't want theories. I want to hear from the high mileage Volvo drivers because the proof is in the pudding.
