Thanks Adam, Yes, "the horse has left the barn", but the advice is well received anyway. I've now had the car for a week and have been driving "sensibly" mostly in Efficiency mode with occasional excursions in to manual paddle shift mode. Still working out the adaptive cruise control quirks! 500 miles done so far and yesterday I went into Sport mode for a moment and was pleasantly surprised by the sprightly feel to the drive, even though I didn't work the engine hard at all :) Many thanks Graham.

Thanks Adbro, all very interesting and logical. I now am wondering how to do the running in with the STronic automatic gearbox..... Leave it in Economy?, Dynamic, or Sport, or Handle the gear changes manually using the paddles only for the first few hundred miles......

Thanks Paul A6, Have you seen this article though? http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm It seems very logical and believable....

Hello all, my first post after watching for a while. I'm due to collect a brand new A3 Sline 1.5 TFSI cab S-tronic in a few weeks, and wondered about running in the engine. Any advice? Some web sites say take it gently for the first 500 miles, others say drive it hard for the first 50 miles to bed in the cylinders while the honing in the cylinder is still able to have an effect....... Just wondered what's the opinions of other experienced Audi owners. Thanks in anticipation....

I understood that the fog lights are integrated into the main headlight cluster on the facelifted models (bottom outside corner light). Can anyone confirm (or clarify) this?
