Breaking in new A4
Picking up my new A4 2.0 Quattro sport line Sedan in Houston tommorow and driving it back to the Valley, about 300 miles. Any thoughts on how to drive back the car?

Welcome
This previous thread may be of use to you.
I agree with the little devil that you should do hard accelerations and decelerations to burn those rings into place
Are you picking yours up at Momentum Audi near Rice Village? If so, there's plenty of local driving before you can hit the freeways and do a proper break-in.
Whatever you do, don't use cruise, and vary your speed a bit on the freeways (60, 80, 50, 70).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4b7/msgs/41688.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4b7/msgs/41688.phtml</a</li></ul>

You should read the owner's manual
There is a 1,000 mile break-in period. Break-in is not as involved as it once was, but you still need to do it.
To the OP: don't use cruise control or drive at steady speeds during the break-in. Vary your engine speeds through the lower-to-high-middle part of the rev range, but don't wind it out to redline. If you have a manual transmission, I'd vary both the speeds and gears.

curious-- what's bad about keeping constant speed during 1st 1000 miles?
I've got 1100 miles and never redlined it, and tried to shift below 5k RPMs. I tried to hit 6th often, as well.
