assuming it's diesel I guess it's just the thermostat doing it's thing drive it harder or stay in a lower gear and it will rise after amile or so, shouldn't worry :-)

Used to run a Octavia SDI on my fleet but scraped it when it had 400k on the clock. The guys who drove it complained like hell that it wouldn't warm up or stay warm, the solution is a nice easy fix though. Sheet of cardboard covering half of the radiator, MPG went up too :-)
