nice and soft break-in but with no manual !!! just by experience and best knowledge....
diesel cars with turbos are even more senstive to a proper break in...... everytime I've had a turbo exchanged on my Audi I did break-in again.....
Exchange of turbo? sounds like pushing it too hard when engine is cold

I didn't know there was a break-in period until I saw on this forum and then checked the manual haha
