That's what I wondered. How long is it taking to warm up and how long on average are your journeys in time/distance?

It takes about 10-15 minutes to get up to temp. Then no fluctuation from 90, on motorway or otherwise.
I thought this as well. Hence I decided to check temp reading on gauge vs VCDS.
Also replaced the fuel filter with a new one as well.

Human Joist:
There was a thread on here last week about warming up and it seemed to end with the conclusion that if it warms up and stays at correct temp but takes ages its the two smaller thermostats and not the main one. They stick this stopping the car warming up as quick. Apparently it should take 5 mins tops. Mine takes 10-15 and I intend to check/replace them both. Cost about £40 plus coolant which is worth doing too
