How to run in

[Tom]

Well?

thrash it from day one? or something more sensible.

the engineers at work said just drive it normally and dont keep the revs constant. is that correct?

 

[iPap]

Keep it sensible, that should do!

 

[JAY172]

drive it steady and dont rev the nuts off it for about 800 miles.there is a section about it in your handbook.

 

[Rich-D]

Do what it says in the handbook...



The "thrash it from new and it will be quicker" theory is simply just not true and mailto:r@ping">r@ping a car from new will not do the engine, gearbox, brakes, etc... any good at all!

Now I ran mine in correctly, so with a 14.5sec 1/4 mile time and 147bhp @ wheels its definately not harmed my cars performance!

Have a look here the website is very poorly done and is advertising of out the box thinking annoys me but his idea seems to make sence on how to bed the engine in.
