Hi everyone!
Just bought my first ever new car. Cupra 280 in dynamic grey!
What are people running their cars too before they have a bit 'fun'
Is it neccessary? I was thinking around 600m?
Cheers
Dave
Follow the manual. Yes it is necessary, the manufactures don't put it in the manual just for fun.
Still waiting on mine to arrive; what does the manual actually call for?Follow the manual. Yes it is necessary, the manufactures don't put it in the manual just for fun.

Thanks for the all the replies lads!
Some really useful info there! I have been told many different things but I think I will stick to the sensible safe option and break it in nicely for the first 1,000m.
Don't really want to risk any problems in the future for the sake of being impatient! ����
Posted this already some time ago in one of the threads but I did run in my last 3 Seat's as advised there and they ran and run perfect. The Cupra took 1/2 liter of oil during 51.000 km's including some track use.

wow, so a lot of different opinions on this matter then!
Has anyone ever encountered any problems not running a car in correctly? I would imagine it would affect long term mpg etc.
every time I drive the car it is so difficult keeping my hand away from the sport button!
