| Briskodian | The first 1000km running in Hello, Today my mom got her fabia, I went to the agency and they explained to me about the car, I asked them if I should do a running in, they told me that it's not necessary, because the engine is manufactured by VW. Should I believe them or I have to do a running in? Thanks, Machinehead. |

| Briskodian | Re: The first 1000km running in It is interesting they should advise you so as the users manual advises you should not exceed 75% power for the first 1000kms. When I collected my Fabia they gave me no advise on any restrictions either. |
