Be careful you don't over Rev it, definitely don't rev it without load, but don't pussy foot the throttle. It needs some good pressure to loosen everything up and get the rings sealed with the cylinder walls. Also make sure you don't labour it under too low revs, it causes something called oil slicking, which is basically burned oil deposits bonding to the cylinder walls leaving a gap between rings and cylinder. At such a critical part of the engines life it could mean trouble down the line, along with the possibility your car might never reach its full potential power/economy wise and oil burning issues / oil getting diluted with fuel. Also try and keep your revs fluctuating, steady revs on cruise control for example are no good for getting it bedded in.flashash wrote:Book says be careful for 1st 1000k but keep reading people flooring it!??

Nice! It's an exciting time. You can expect to get your hands on your new toy approximately 3 weeks after build week judging from most people's experiences.CandyCupcake wrote:Got a phone call from my dealer last night to confirm mine is getting built the first week of Feb! Far too excited now, will be even worse when I know it physically exists!
I always regretted getting rid of my first Scirocco so I am ridiculously excited 
I can imagine I'll be clocking up fairly high mileage in the first few days / weeks as I won't be able to get out of her!
Any more news on yoursCandyCupcake wrote:An R. So I was extremely envious when you picked up yours! I'm going down to see it when they initally get it in, not sure it's a good idea though as I won't want to leave without it
