swiftvin Posted 29, March 2016 Report Share Posted 29, March 2016 hi Guys Picking ''it'' up next week (will post photos) and keen to hear from other RS 200/220 drivers around Sydney. As its new, does the engine have to be run in for x kms? Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landfall Posted 29, March 2016 Report Share Posted 29, March 2016 Congratulations, you'll love it. No, the engine does not have to be run in like the olden days, but I would refrain from using launch control and Race mode for around 1,500km's. I noticed with ours that it really started to loosen up at the 5,000km mark. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave200 Posted 29, March 2016 Report Share Posted 29, March 2016 Drive it hard as soon as possible! Congrats on the purchase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmh Posted 30, March 2016 Report Share Posted 30, March 2016 Manual suggests keeping revs limited for first 1500kms (can't remember suggested limit). We avoided sport/race/launch until 2000kms. Did an oil and filter change at 5000kms too. Also found it really came alive around the 5000kms mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
