Default New Ming Blue S3 (1000km old)

S3/A3 owners,

How many km's/miles does the S3 need to be fully run in and loosened up?

I have done about 1200km in it so far. Heaps of fun and pleasure.

Thanks.

I was pretty impressed at how free revving the engine was straight out of the box. Mine just gets better and better - and at 14,500 miles probably still has room for improvement.<p>Doug Ramage

Default True, my humble A31.8T (190bhp)...

is at 20k now and getting better. At 10k I thought it was much better than new but at 20k it rules! We'll see at 30k ..

Wait until 3000Km before you
do some serious speeding.

Engine will thank you for it
in the long run.

I also suggest that you change the
oil at 3000Km and put in some 5w-40
fully synth.

Regards,
