Default UK: Tdi warm up time

New A3 owner here, 2023 2.0Tdi Edition 1.
Just thought I'd say hi and pick a few braincells about the engine warm up time for your Tdi.
Mine seems to be taking an age to get up to temp according to the virtual dash display.
Talking around 12 or more miles or 20 mins driving to get to 90 deg C in ambiant temps of around 12 deg C.
Wondering if it's normal or do I have a problem with my stat or temp sender unit?
Thanks

Diesel engines warn up during load, not during idle like gassers. Let it idle for a minute or two and then drive it within reason until warm. It’s normal.

Try leaving it in sport mode until it warms up.
