I've read about people who said that it takes some 1000 km before the engine let all hp and exhaust sounds better ..

I've thought it's just been a good idea.

But now that feels and sounds my GTI much better, Do not know if I'm just imagining .... :whistle: :whistle:

But have to love this car, f-ck what it's wonderful ...  :grin: :grin:

Lucky guy I guess, I've never felt that "loosening up" of the engine that I've read about so much in neither this or my previous new cars  :tongue:

Yes but I have found it takes much more than 1000 Km.  Mine seems to have loosened up and developed its own 'voice' after some 10,000 miles, now at 30,000 miles it feels properly run in, and should stay the same for the next 100,000 miles or so, before things start to wear.

Mine started to noticeably loosen at 650 miles, and then again around the 5k mark. Just gets better and better tbh.
