I tell no lies but when it comes to cars I have not got a scoody doo, apart from what car to have of course! :redface:

Even with modern technical cars today should you still be running them in?

If so does anyone know what the suggested time period erc is?

Can't wait to get to the red line but must be patient.

Haynes don't do a manual either :mad:

Don't rev the cr*p out of it but enjoy it at the same time...

The turbo allows you to use the car without giving it to much welly.

i'd say no limit on revs just don't drive it like you stole it from day 1.

IMO and what has been said before on here regarding the first 1000 miles.....

Keep it under 4000 rpm especially when cold, more importantly never labour the engine in too higher gear and vary your speed. The occasional quick burst up to 5000/5500 rpm after 500 miles will do no harm either.
