not terribly long. to get past that square maybe less than 5 mins? takes a long time to get to the middle though.

I know it's been talked about before but is this a DIY job?

5 minutes to even get remotely warm or 5 minutes to full working temperature?

It should only take about 5 minutes to get to fully operational temp from a cold start while running the car (driving, not sitting in the driceway at idle)

The thermostat is a DIY project if you can control the leakage of coolant. It is easy to find and easy to do yourself. I can almost guarantee that everytime this issue ocurs on any car it's the thermastat. It's such a cheap fix.

Your not losing coolant are you?
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
