| Briskodian | Despite all the advice in manuals etc,I thought engines were given a running in period of thousands of miles before dropping them in to cars any way.Probably fantasy. As a matter of interest,how do you run a Honda V TEC unit in? Keep it to just below 8,000rpm for the first ten miles or so?  |

| Bouncing? Just A Question I Wanted to bring to this discussion, I (until I Met my Fabia) was under the impression that cars "Bounce" Back and forward on the limiter (like in computer games), but as I Found out my Fabia Just "Sits" On The Limiter. I Have only ever done it accidentally, as the 1.48v Is A Pushrod that apparantley means that it cant rev as high, Oh, and is it true that in VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda that if you hold the Limiter for 10 Seconds it registers a Fault code for it?

| it wont hurt it nowadays engines are bench run in before being fitted to the car. running it in isnt as important as it was in the 60's it's not a cortina. lol surprised you didnt hit fuel cut, It's like driving into a wall with the powerbox and bigger injectors my tdi would hit the fuel cut just before the start of the red bit of counter. at 130mph it would just drop to 100 |

|  Nowt to do with Skoda's but recently read an "Autocar" test of the new Bentley Continental saloon, (based on the Conti GT). Being driven around a banked test track, 4-up + camera kit, they couldn't figure out why the engine repeatedly cut out at 206mph and then came back on at around 165mph. After some diagnostics and head scratching, one of the Gerrman engineers figured out that 206mph equated to the kill point on the rev limiter and 165mph equates to the engine's restart point on the limiter. Know it's not terribly relevant, but it blew me away.
