So I pick up my new 200 on Saturday and its the first brand new car I have had. Just wanted to know if I'll have to have a 'running in' period or anything. Not that I'll be ragging it around from the dealers!
Think it says something about not thrashing it within the first couple of thousand of miles iirc, also don't hammer it from cold start but that should be standard whatever the mileage
Manual says avoid aggressive acceleration and keep revs below 4000rpm and speed below 70mph for the first 800 miles. After that progressively increase performance over the next 400 miles. At 1200 miles the engines fully bedded in.
Procedure for a 58 197 anyways. I followed it to the letter.
