I am picking up my 98 wagon tomorrow from the maindealer after it has had a new shortmotor/clutch/gearbox(£7.5K)replaced after it was stolen.
There are two schools of thouhgt on the running in process:
under 4k revs and constant speed variation for the first 1000 miles
or just drive normally(ie briskly) from the start as this 'seals' the rings better.
Any thoghts on this would be most graciously received.
regards
Matt
P.S
I asked the dealer if any special 'thinner oil' was being put in for the first 1000 miles, but he said no, normal oil is fine.
