I'd start by changing the thermostat - is your heater not much cop as well? I had a similar experience with my 1.8 and a new thermostat improved it no end. About £10 from GSF (including gasket) - you'll need two torx drives, 25 & 40 I think, and a small bottle of antifreeze. Took me about 15 minutes.
