Running in an engine is a thing of the past. You only need to run in an engine of a lesser quality vehicle. Anyway, I will not have for much more than a year before I upgrade it.

Hi, I'm relatively new to the forum, you seem to be very knowledgeable but you also seem to just jump on a thread and shoot people down without any helpful follow up. If you know so much why not share it rather than just flame every post? "Actually all engines should be run it correctly because blah blah blah....." "Actually that oil isn't recommended because of blah blah however Y brand is good because....."Get my drift? You seem to love a dramatic exclamation mark.

Have to say though, you thinking the chassis was different because of some options was priceless

The general atmosphere in the MkVI section is a real let down to this forum.People like Jules and TT have been on here for ages and the latter in particular is always able to give quick, helpful advice. I don't know why they bother coming in here if this is the kind of play ground mentality they're faced with.
