Sounds like your Aux heater aint working, which isn't uncommon.
D3 4.2 TDi should heat up reasonably quickly. D4 4.2 Tdi they did away with the engine heater, and put electric elements in the air flow to the cabin instead, so the engine takes ages to warm up, but you get warmth in the cabin straight away.

Going to work this morning, only 3 miles, was at 70degrees. Normally on the way home, slightly different, faster route, 3.5 miles 90degrees.
Gauge starts moving off 50 at about 1 mile.

Carista scan should reveal a problem with the aux. Heater. If a problem exists.
The engine undertrays off mine at the moment and I did notice the aux heater exhaust sticking down. If look in D3 common faults you' ll find all the manuals to download.

IIRC aux heater only becomes active when ambient temp gets down to 6 degrees or around that .
If you feel that it is taking to long to get warm ,like already said it could be a thermostat issue ...opening to soon or not fully closing allowing partial flow through the radiator. As a bit of a ‘bog ‘ just for *testing purposes* if you slip some cardboard in front of the radiator ( like ya used to see in’th olden days ...Ray will know ! ) just to stop air flow to it ....if it then gets warm much quicker you know your on the correct track . There is a few other things that can cause slow warm up ....any ideas technical guys ?? Just out of interest so
