What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[Taylor Swift]

I'm giving it plenty of throttle but keeping it under 5500 rpms.

Plenty of throttle it is... I took mine to 6000 and more of the same thereafter once everything was warmed up right out of the stealership post-engine rebuild from the consumption

Then magic expansion tank button time for a roadtrip over Easter weekend got me 55L on the tank and then almost a 1000km range

Plus the k's I did before I went on the trip + this weekend's I've done close to about 1300km - so I'm hoping when I check the oil level tonight it shouldn't have moved much.

Yeah, the engines magically bed-in the minute you drive out the stealership - which I quoted the service advisor as saying, "not at all, she's all yours and there's no any running in"

Yeah, Most people say there is no need to 'run in' VWs, but I think its best to respect the engine for the first 500km and let the pistons and drivetrain set in. You can still push the car a bit, but not trash it to the red line as soon as you take it out of the dealership.

Installed a chrome-tip on the exhaust today. Looks a little better than the stock pipe.
A cheap and easy addition - $45 off eBay.

Went down to the parts department to buy parts for the oil change... sump plug/washer = $4.50

I've got the exact same one. I think our cars would be identical.
