Running in and warming up...
Hi Guys,
Picking up my Civic 2.2 cdti SE on Wed next week. I have read some relvant research on running in the engine. I am fairly confident the mototune way is the best and its nice to hear from someone who has already done this and benefitted from it...Pottsy.
As I'm changing from my company car - Smart Fortwo (goodbye and good riddens!! No clutch and hideous auto gearbox), the only things I was unclear about was...
Warming up the engine correctly? I'm guessing turn the engine on a good 10 mins before pulling away and drive slowly throught gears for a mile or so and then let her rip...woo-hoo! ????
Correct engine breaking technique? I'm thinking slowing the car down 'with' the foot break but attemting to change down in time to let the engine forcefully do some of the breaking too???
Thanks for any input...
Phil
