    TD5 warm up

    Do you warm up your td5's?

    No.

    I think the trend is for engines with engine management should be just gotten in and driven, but don't shut them down hot if turbo charged.
    Cheers

    I start it and give it 5-10 while I put my seatbelt on. Then I drive off gently. As Toomby says, as per factory recommendations.

    It really shouldn't take that long to get your seatbelt on. In that time I've started, driven to work, parked and turned off.

    Detroit Diesel Operators Instructions always said to fire them up and get into it. Warm up not necessary.
