Hi Guys
Picking up a new 77TSI DSG late Jan/early Feb, just wondering what the current goss is on running in and the methodolgy.
With the first oil and filter change can see the supplementary service thread. What's the best approach here. Chances are I'll be doing a lot of short urban running during the week.

With my wifes Series 5 1.6L Golf I'm pretty sure the first service and change was at 15,000km. It's just about done 100,000 and running better than new. But the idea of having the same oil in a brand new car for 12 months... not really sure. The purists used to talk about an oil and filter change at the 500 mile mark in the old days.

Does the oil in the sump of a new car come from the factory and date back to it's build date and with current Polos is this a special running in oil?

We have some very good local independent VW specialists. I think they'd be up to doing any first supplementary change.

Thanks John
