First of all let me say that I already read this questionthis question and its answer, so it's clear to me why diesel-powered cars need a warm-up time.

My question is: do modern cars need it too? I have VW Golf VI (year 2009) and I normally leave the system on for a couple of seconds before starting the engine... but am I being too cautious, or does the car really need it?
