Anyone know if the idling revs on the W203 are electronic controlled,now the frosts are here it seems the engine revs could be turned up a wee bit,engine is running cold for longer but grand when warmed up after driving through slow traffic for twenty minutes or so.
All replies appreciated.

Idle speed is electronically controlled unlike the old choke cable.
Have you checked you thermostat, that might be the cause of the slow warm up?
