Running in

[UltraViolet]

Hiya Peeps,

Well - for the first 400 miles, I was very steady - most of the time under 3k rpm, occassional drift towards the 4k rpm. Now I have gone upto the 5k rpm more than a couple of times, and once just a little past it....... covered 650 miles so far - how long before I can thrash the pants off it???? :smilegrin:

When I got mine last Jan my dealer told me I could drive how I want from the start. So I did:cool:

I was told to keep below 4000rpm for the first thousand miles. From then on up 500rpm more for every 100 miles covered. I've got 1400 miles on my clock now not really gone over 5,500rpm yet, I can feel the engine freeing up nicely though.

Ive run in quite a few cars & have been told so many different ways of doing it!! Out of experience the best way....definatley is just to drive the car normally...Not thrash it but just normal through the gears keeping the engine as free revving as possible. If you keep sticking to a certain speed then the engine develops a flat spot. But saying that...pretty much all of engines nowadays dont really need running in.
