Hi Norian, Thanks for your reply! I was reading about the approach with slow acceleration and variable rpms, but in that case, how I'm going to load the engine in order to create enough pressure for piston ring sealing? Kind Regards, Nick

Hi Norian, Thank you for your reply and advise! After reading a lot of controversial opinions on the engine break-in/run-in topic one thing is not very clear for me: Shall I apply moderate load to the engine between 2000 and 4500 RPM or just vary the rpms slowly without pushing the throttle? I'm aware I should NOT push full throttle in any case and not load the engine at low rpms (below 1700 for example), but shall I load it above that in order to apply some good pressure on the piston rings for proper sealing? I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys. Kind Regards, Nick

Hi fellows, Thanks for this great topic. It answers most of my questions. What do you think about the start/stop system during the run-in period? Shall I disable it for the first 600 miles or leave it do it's job? Is there anything about the turbo I should be aware during the run-in period? Any specific guidelines? Regards, Nick

OK fellows, I found my answer here http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/408713-running-in-tsi-engines/ Many thanks to Rainmaker! Regards, Nick

Hello everybody, I'm Nikolay and I'm please to join Skoda family with my new Rapid Style, 1.2 TSI, 5M which arrived couple of days ago. I'm an engineer by occupation and that's my first new car. I see the forum is well developed and members are very knowledgable. Kind Regards, Nick

Hi fellows, My name is Nikolay and I'm pleased to join Skoda family with my new Rapid Style, 1.2 TSI, 5M, DOM: September 2016. Having in mind, that's my first new car, I've never done any engine break-in before, thats why I need your advices. According to Skoda Service Manual, during the first 1000 km, the engine should be operated within 3/4 of it's maximum RPM, which according to my calculation is 4500 RPM max. Between 1000 km and 1500 km the engine should be operated within it's maximum RPM, which is 6000 RPM. Could you please advise from your experience, what is the best practice for engine break-in? Shall I avoid using the start/stop system during the first 1500 km? Shall I keep low gear and higher rpm's (within 4500 RPM interval)? I'm looking forward to hearing from you! Kind Regards, Nick
