Breaking-in 2.0 TSi - 125kw

[sama13]

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

Read what the manual says.... then just drive normally.

Manual????? What's that?? mate, drive it like a rental...... babying it will only give you shiny cylinders and oil use later..... go hard brother!!

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!

I would have no problems flashing a car from new if it were my own. Customers, I am not sure you could trust them not to go too far.

1000/1500ks doesn't take long to drive.

By the way which company do you represent over there?
