Collect my new R32 this Thursday!!!

Hi chap, welcome to the fold!

I didn't go above 4000 rpm for the first 350 miles and then gradually upped it till I was driving however I wanted at 800 and thrashing it to death (joke) after 1k.

Modern engines are well run in already but I still think it's good to take it easy to start. VW recommend taking it easy for the first 1k and they should know.

In a nutshell, it won't make much (if any) difference unless you thrash it right out of the box or cuddle it for ages.

Enjoy ;-)

Yep, I'd agree with Dave.

Take it easy(ish) for the first 1k, but after that drive it "normally". I wouldn't suggest redlining it everywhere, but give it a bit every now and again to stretch it's legs!

Every mile it will get better and better, trust me

Hi,
im waiting to collect my new R this comming wed. I have an 8month old and decided to go with the Recaro Baby seat as sold here on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RECARO-Young-...ryZ66695QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

after loads of research i decided this was the best specced seat and the safest.

do a search on google and you will find them cheaper. then call the guys on ebay and they will match and reduce by a further 5% so not a bad deal in the end.

Hi cambiaso welcome to the forum mate! hope you enjoy your r as much as i have.
where abouts in west sussex do you come from i live in crawley there is a vw meet at patching the fox pub every last sunday in the month if you are interested you get a few r32s there as well as mk i & mk2
