ohhh
My B7 is 2.0T Q Manual, is arriving in December.
So I should keep my RPM below 2000 during the break in period?

 

That would be pretty damn hard...

Well, Just don't be going over 2.5-3k or so IMO.

I mean... You'll be fine shifting at 2k all day, but damn you'll be holding up people. hahaha

 

it's amazing i love it, got the 2.0TQ Tip S-Line w. the 10spkr bose, bluetooth, n convenience package...in black w. dark grey interior... great car, i've had it for one month as of today...

 

cool.....

mine is 07 2.0T Quattro Manual, black/black
with S-line, convenience and navigation.

I got an awesome deal, MSRP out the door!!!!

I just can't wait til my car arrives here in December.

 

man, that's a long wait! i dunno how you do it... i was dying to get my car and i only had to wait two weeks!
the nav btw is an awesome feature, behind the screen you get two SD and MMC card slots, i would have got it, but mom will be using the car too and she can't drive a stickshift so i had to throw the $1400 tiptronic on there and throw out the nav

 

trust me waiting is hard to do.

But it's better to wait 2 month to get the car I want, than get it now with more or less features.

More features mean more $$$
Less features: I will regret I didn't wait for 2 month and get the right options

 

how is the reliability of B7 2.0T?

 

agreed.
but yea, trust me.... it'll totally be worth it!!

 

can't really say how reliable it is... i've heard great things about it... i've only had it for a month and put jus under 1700kms on it (jus over 1000 miles)... and it's great... good on gas n everything... as for reliability, i guess im yet to find out! but im expecting good things

 

The way I broke in my B7, I kept it under 5k rpm. On the freeway, I tried not to keep it at the same rpm for long period of time. No sudden accelerations/launching. I did that for about 1300 miles. After that, I drove it like normal. I didn't start driving it hard and hitting redline till just before the first service at 5k miles. That way, if there was any type of metal shaving from driving the car hard, it gets taken out right away at the dealership when they service it

My car is now 5 months old and it has 11k miles ....not a single problem.....except for damn birds always pooping on it[:@]
