proper breaking in procedure
So Ive done 900 kms so far in my tt2.0. Slowly pushing it a tiny bit more. Since Ive had it I've never taken it above 3500 rpm (I have once accidentally).. When it reaches 1000km can I start to increase the revs to 4/5k rpm? then when can I try things like launch control!?

We had this discussion on the S4 forum, and I found that...
those who didn't follow the break in procedure had very little oil consumption. Those who did had a range of oil use. I drove my S4 normally from day 1, and had no oil consumption whatsoever. My advice: just drive your car normally, but dont drive the crap out of it.

Drive it like you normally will drive it. I don't mean bounce it off the rev limiter 10 times a day
You need to really drive the car like you will every day. Don't do that 3500rpm crap, its BS. I broke my 2.0T A4 in like I'm saying to, and it doesn't burn oil, and the MPG is dead on to what its rated at. Don't be scared.

Agreed ^^^^^ . Don't abuse it, but drive it like you would daily. There is nothing wrong with 5-6K
RPMs.
I broke it my 2.oT this way and from an oil consumption, MRG stand point its FINE.
Nor have there been any issues in the 42.5K miles on it.

Re: Agreed ^^^^^ .
Cool, well I'm at 1200kms now and been up to 5-6k rpm max. I rarely took it above 4k rpm up to 1000 kms. Havent taken it right to the limit. and I havent tried launch control yet -- looking forward to trying that soon (perhaps at 1500 kms)
