    D2 V8 heating up quick?

    Hey guys, i have a 99 v8 D2 Auto and seems to be heating up rather quickly, driving it very slowly it will still heat up within a matter of about 90secs to 2 mins. Doesn't over heat or do anything silly just heaps up quick, car has 115k's on the clock.

    Just wondering what everyone else's is like, im used to a commodore which took a fair bit longer to heat up so it might be totally normal i'm just unsure.

    Thanks for any assistance you can offer
    John

    They are designed to heat up quickly to reduce emissions as most emissions are in the warmup phase.
    That is why the thermostat was moved from the hose to the radiator sand you now pay big bux for what used to be a $10 part.
