Default CEL P3081

This code appears to have something to do with engine temp. However, it came on after engine was cold and driven about 0.5mi. Should I just reset it to see if it reappears? I'm thinking worst case it may be a bad Coolant Temp sensor, but I saw a post where one person got this error and it was caused by a loose coolant cap.

Default P3081: Engine temperature too low

Bentley notes: Let engine warm up; coolant temperature must be at least 50 C (122 F).

Clear it, see if it comes back. If it does, sure, try the coolant temp sensor first. You can also check via the climate control codes what the coolant temp is showing (49).

Default Audi A6 C7 2.0 TFSI very slow warm up. GCC specs car

Hello,
I have a C7 2.0 tfsi and when the weather is cold the car warms up very slow. Even if it reaches the nornal temperature in the city when i start driving on motorway is getting cold again. No fault codes, the thermostate is new...
The car is imported to Europe from Dubai and is a GCC specs car (Gulf specifications). I was wondering if there is something different in the cooling system when the car is produced for warm climate and what will be the difference, what should i replace. Or maybe there is a problem with the car that is not related to the specs.
