20 Valves and 600 Miles.....
Just took the 1.8t from Philly to Pittsburgh and back - Thats about 600 miles.
I was driving at night with little traffic and was able to keep the car at about 80-90 mph - Thats 3500 - 5000 RPM in Fifth gear.
Any Recomendations, advice etc....
Should I Change the oil?
Is this kind of long, steady drive OK on the engine?
I am concerned because I noticed the engine sounded a little louder than usual on the way back and then this morning it didn't start-up as easily as it usually does.
BTW -car now has 12000 miles on it.
