Hi

I ordered a new skoda octavia 1.6 greenline on 31 July and was surprised to know that my car is here already infact it arrived it on 31 Sept. What l am worried about though is with winter approaching and most of my driving confined to city limits what sort of precautions should i take so my engine does not develop any problems and my DPF doesnot blow up.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is a generally accepted way of running in a diesel engine. http://honestjohn.co.uk/faq/running-in-a-diesel

Other drivers with diesel might want to add more based on their experience.

Just drive it but don't thrash it, and take it for a longer run once in a while.
