quote: my uncle has just got a new celica and they said the same. but to be honest i wouldn't rag it, i would ru it in. u pay all that money for it so why run the risk of doing it damage for the sake of 1000-1500 miles | |

When the engine is new you need to ru it in to get everything flowing well, you will notice that your fuel consumption is high, until its run in this will happen then the fuel will level off more. Ragging it when new will kill it. Definatly not recommended. | |

BRAND new corsa's do not need to be run in at all anymore, i bought my new corsa thursday and i asked the dealers and they said u can rag it straight away jus not all the time, and i was also told it is good 2 rag it once every now and then 2 blow the shit out of it. jus down red line it all the time u'll b fine, or jus phone vauxhall and ask em urself | |
