Hi
Mine gets up to temp within 5-10 minutes from cold too. Just make sure the fan kicks in when needed and your coolant levels and mixture are ok and happy motoring.

The temp sensors, thermostatic valves and pumps are known to go, lots of info on here to read up on, mine takes about 5 or so minutes to warm up.

Once its warm just make sure the bottom radiator hose is hot as the thermostat opens the water flow to the bottom radiator hose then on into the radiator, the thermostat can stick shut.
