Another Break In Question
Hi all,
I have read all the forums and I understand what I should and shouldn't do during the break in period, but here's my question. Next week I'm picking my car up in Munich as part of the European Delivery. I've got my entire route planned out, but a last minute change means that I won't have time to go through my 2,000km inspection until I reach almost 3,000km. Do you guys think that I am running the risk of damaging anything? I would obviously continue my break in period driving style until I have gone through the service. Thanks |

Seriously that's a thing? How come it doesn't say anything about the 200km rule in my paperwork?

I think you want to get rid of the break-in specific oils (engine and diff) and also remove whatever metal has built up in the oil and filter. I would follow the break-in maintenance schedule and not push to nearly 2k miles

My service advisor just responded with what you guys have been saying as well, I guess I'll try to get an appointment in Strasbourg instead. I will be below 2,000km, but not by much.
