    Question Breaking-in 2.0 TSi - 125kw

    Hello mates,

    Anybody has any pointers as how to break in the Petrol engine of our new Tiggy? I read on VW Vortex that you're not supposed to baby the engine too much, hope to hear from the guys that have some experience on this.

    Cheers

    Thanks a lot mate's I think it's true, no babying the tiggy then. I have the chance to tune it to 265hp (don't know the numbers in KW) as I represent a european company over here, with my clients I always suggest to wait for 1000 kms, do you think it's not needed?

    I have had clients done at less than 100 kms.

    Thanks!

    Off the subject a bit.! You mentioned your 125tsi is a 2010 model. Are there any visible changes exterior/interior and any spec changes in relation to the
    2009 model???

    I didn't notice anything Rocket, same looks as the 09 and the engine is the same as you guys CAWA, interior also seems the same, I'll take some good pics and share.
