Hi all,
I will be picking up my Cupra on Friday and i'm just wondering what sort of run in period i should give it?
I asked the sales guy and he said there isn't a run in period on these newer engines, so was wondering what everyone elses thoughts on that are?
Aahh, the old "f**k the next mug" running in technique. This attitude is why I buy new.If you’re going to own it at any stage then I’d be inclined to take it fairly easy for the first couple hundred miles; if you won’t own the car at any stage, just go for it

If you look into it most engines seem to be bench tested anyway at the factory!

Do people agree with the bit about changing the oil to non-synthetic after 20 miles? Wasn't sure if this bit refers to bikes only.If you look into it most engines seem to be bench tested anyway at the factory!

Bench run. Not run in normal traffic conditions by someone who may/may not know how to run in an engine.If you look into it most engines seem to be bench tested anyway at the factory!

No, and I don't do it on bikes either.Do people agree with the bit about changing the oil to non-synthetic after 20 miles? Wasn't sure if this bit refers to bikes only.

I was just posting a link I had found when searching myself, it states to vary RPM using pulls (not consistent motorway 4k RPM) - please let us know though why they don't want high cylinder pressures etc if you could that would be really helpful and another opinion to consider?Why don't those advocating thrashing new engines do some research? Find out why the manufacturer doesn't want high cylinder pressures on new rings, and why they do not want the engine run at consistent high rpm.
If you do, you might not spread BS info to people who want accurate answers to their questions.
