Takes a long time for my car to heat up.

[One]

So I an A4 estate the old model. It's a 2.0 TDI but for the first 5 minutes of driving I have to make sure I maintain at least 2500 revs or it takes a good 10 minutes before the car is blowing any warmth. Now this is supposed to be the top model with climate control, I can set the passenger side to a different temperature to my side which is ridiculous madness imo, especially when it can't put the AC in reverse to give me warmth without relying on the engine heat.

Is this just a diesel thing or this model of car or is it just broken?

I know, i was just checking for clarification.

Nice warm arse, but cold fingers Just a diesel thing then, won't be cold for long though I suppose. It only needs to be 10C outside before it's not cold in a car anyway.
