9n tdi 1.4 takes about 1.5miles till its reaches the middle sometimes a bit longer depending on outside temperatures.

Same here...in the winter my TDi can take 10 minutes just to move of the mark if it's cold outside. Thought my gauge was busted when I first got the car. I've never seen my radiator fan spin yet, no matter how hard it's driven...weird.RITCHAT wrote:Trim wrote:Engine Temprature is about 5 mins to the middle on my 9n.

thanx for the help lads...just needed a 2nd opinion. 
Re: HELP ON ENGINE OIL ON 9N3 POLO
Funny you should mention that I can't ever remember the fan cutting in and I have covered nearly 66000 miles. As long as it sits in the middle and doesn't move up from there then there is no problem.K.I.T.T. wrote:Same here...in the winter my TDi can take 10 minutes just to move of the mark if it's cold outside.
