This article is about engine idle.
Idling is running a vehicle's engine when the vehicle is not in motion. This commonly occurs when drivers are stopped at a red light, waiting while parked outside a business or residence, or otherwise stationary with the engine running. When idling, the engine runs without any loads except the engine accessories.

Idling MythsEdit

Myth: restarting the engine uses more gas than idling. Reality: an engine restart uses fuel approximately equal to 10 seconds of idling.
Myth: restarting the engine causes greater engine wear than idling. Reality: restarting causes less.
Myth: cars need to idle to warm up the engine. Reality: the engine warms up faster when being driven.

but it does in ur state abi? If u no get wetin to talk, u no go shut up!

I'm from delta

I repeat this is not news in delta.

Meanwhile quote me again and tell me to shut up and you will not enter 2015.

To answer the OP's question, as others have said, no, it's not true, then or now.

That myth perpetuated in the early 70's as cars started being outfitted with catalytic converters. It is true that if you idle an engine for long periods without getting the engine rpm up, the condensation in the exhaust would pool in the converter and if you didn't blow it out, it would rust out the cats prematurely. That's more or less true today as well, but modern cats are much more efficient and resilient to it. It's still the main reason why you should always bring an engine up to operating temperature and drive it for a bit, rather than starting it and shutting it off before everything has warmed up.

CityNG:
OP, if you value your engine and want it to last then DO NOT idle your car. It's one of the worst thing that you can do to your engine.

Once you start the engine, proceed to drive right away but DO NOT race the engine or put it under high load until it is fully warmed up.

For the scenario that you described you may not be able to avoid sludge but I assure you dealing with sludge ri far more cheaper than idling your engine for extended period when cold.

If you care I can expand on the reasoning behind not racing your engine.

Can you explain a bit more on the dmaged caused to the engine? U know we are all learning.

Mike you are too nice

Some one hit my parked car from the rear while driving in reverse, (luckily there was no major damage), but I noticed while he was driving that he was using his mirrors only without turning his head to look back while in reverse. I use the Traditional method of look rear while reversing (even if there's a parking assistant installed) but I noticed there are some die hard mirror drivers that prefer the use of the mirror. So I ask what's the smartest way to drive a car in reverse?

A friend just got a used golf 4 and it jerks when he engages the reverse gear (that's after it first makes a "kum" sound). While we drove, i also noticed that when he slows down upon seeing traffic, the car jerks then too until he engages the neutral gear. He doesnt know what to do so i thought to bring the case here. I need expert knowledge and advice on this issue.

Could be engine mounts, might also be a transmission problem. Scan the vehicle and do a visual inspection of the mounts.

In delta that does not make headlines.

Drgreatone:
Bin wondering the effect of short driving distance on a car, seen people who drive less than 3km round trip in a day (i.e 1.5km to work in the morning and same distance back home in the evenin) and wonder if cars are made to cope with such and if no, what measures can be put in place to prolong the engine life.

Build up of sludge over time.

To avoid this allow engine run idle for at least 10-20minutes every morning so the engine oil will get to normal operating temperature before taking of on your short 1.5km trip. Same should be applied on the return trip.

P.s I'm assuming there is no hold up or traffic.

Pike please look at the pictures I hope you considered the direction of the new filter?

I've had some guy to check up the car but it isn't still starting. Was told the ECU isn't communicating with the fuel system.
Still on the lookout for someone to help.
Thanks.

Before you mess the car so badly and create a thread about conversion to pertrol, calm down and READ through what siena has offered for free.
