Fireman 1st Gear October 13, 2003 Share October 13, 2003 Hi to all car lovers here. U guys sure have lots of info here. Anyway, just wanna find out what is the proper way to run-in my new car? Like when to ram the car and when not to. Can't really find a proper info on this in the resource folder. Anyone can help? Thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman 1st Gear October 13, 2003 Author Share October 13, 2003 Many thanks for replying. I tried reading this one http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi...e=unread#unread but a bit too cheeem for me to understand. It seems more suited for the manual car and I got an auto. Where do u guys always meet up? Feels a bit intimidating from the sound of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie October 13, 2003 Share October 13, 2003 it is the same for both manual or auto..... For layman explaination, maybe you can try reading your owner's manual...it is usually stated inside on how to run-in your new car.... For our meetup, we usually meet at the Bishan Golf Driving Range food court at the end, Check out the meetup folder for the map , date and time of every meetup.....

Mmythos Neutral Newbie October 13, 2003 Share October 13, 2003 Best is to check with ur sales agent, they should have told u. A general way, try not to ram ur engine above 3500rpm, do not sudden accelerate, travel at various speed, the running in mileage should be at least 2000km. But don't go running on the highway day and night just to reach ur 2000km mileage cos travelling at various speed and different gears is desired.

Fireman 1st Gear October 13, 2003 Author Share October 13, 2003 Thanks for your reply. So can I rev up abit more after I hit 2000km? My sales agent only told me not to drive the car hard for first 1000km. Thats all. I guess I read too much article on the net and now I am confused on how to run in the car.

Mavvy Clutched October 13, 2003 Share October 13, 2003 run in your car slowly... dun hit above 80 or rather 90 rpm also dun exceed 2.5k rpm esp brakes..no hard braking.. no hard acceleration.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman 1st Gear October 13, 2003 Author Share October 13, 2003 Thanks. Did all that u stated. Actually, I have already hit more than 1000km and went for 1st servicing. But not sure what to do after that? The beast in me tells me to go rev up the car while my wife tell me not to spoil the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
