Hi Guys,
just wondering what your thoughts are on how you should run in a new engine? I've always had VAG diesels and on both occasions the salesman has told me to drive normally and the engine will be fine. In fact they said that the harder I drove it in the first few thousand miles it would actually improve performance! Not sure how true this is but I've put 106k miles on my 2004 A3 and 147k on my current Golf and I've never had any mechanical issues (touch wood!!)
