Logically Passat should have taken longer to stabilise as the bigger engine block needs more time to warm up.Just wondering if this needs any further investigation?

What year Passat? My ‘95 Golf took a while to heat up and get back to low revs and it was similar time to your Passat. Although my Golf had 6 cylinders so might explain why it got to temp fast.

I honestly wouldn’t be worried, unless even after driving for 5-10 minutes it still idles high.

What year it is? -- 2015
What Variant/badge? -- Sport
What series? -- LZ
What transmission? -- Auto
How many km's did it run? -- 137000 and still going strong. I've not had any issues apart from a water pump bearing which needed to be replaced recently. Still I am thinking of upgrading to the new Focus ST Line or a 2018 LZ with full unlimited klm warranty since I am out of warranty now.

Thoughts?

My lz 2015 up to 103,000, all good no issues. When did your water pump fail...how many kms?

Year: 2011
Variant: TDCi - hatch
Series: LV
Transmission: Manual
Mileage: 194,000km

Timing and auxiliary belts are due for replacement at 200,000km.
Just put new Michelin Primacy 4 tyres last month, and so far the car is doing good, no issues anywhere.

Kevino - I reckon it was around 130,00. It was water pump bearing and suspiciously straight after a full service by dealer. I wonder if they knocked something... anyways, I'm nearly at 165,000 now. The thought of changing up to a newer model won't go away. However, I feel like perhaos I can get another 50,000 klms into it before I change over.
