Title: engine run in
Post by: adw555 on 30 May 2007, 17:04: At about 25k miles I definitely feel the engine has loosened up..it just feels like it's revving more freely and much smoother through the gears....I never really noticed a difference like it on my last brand new car (an Impreza turbo) ...anyone else feel a difference in their engine after a period of time ? :smiley:

No, my S4 seemed to "finish" running-in around 12k miles! Only half the wait, then. :grin:
