There has been said some 'BS' on page 1. Two examples:
Unlike Ferrari, there's definitely no run-in or even break-in done by Volkswagen
(or Audi's factory in Györ/Hungary, who manufature the EA888 engines for the
European markets). The engine 'sees' fuel for the very first time when the
car
leaves the factory. During and post assembly of the
engine itself, it's getting
checks witout a single drop of fuel. If it is driven at all, then it is driven by an
electric motor. For environmental, safety and monetary reasons it's simply not
appropriate to run every engine. This Volkswagen/Audi, not Porsche or Ferrari.
So please stop guessing if there's a factory run-in or break-in, as there's none.
Secondly, any EA888 3G engine is running at high-level oil pressure for its first
1000 km. These engines have an electronically controlled oil-pressure control,
varying oil pressure depending on load and speed (post its first 1000 km). This
also proves, that Audi (who developed this engine) intended a break-in period.
I'm not saying you have to baby your car for the first 1500 km or 800 mls. It's
just there's so much popular believe, misconception and myth around there.
I'm 100 % convinced there is no chance to find a common ground here. There
is at least two views with valid arguments. The discussion will be infinite which
isn't a issue as long as the arguments are fairly objective.
