Whats your Run In STi 8 Gear Shift Light set too? And is there a guideline to follow?

 

i set mine to 3,800 while running in
i ran in at no more than 4000
but set the light i little lower
to allow for my fuddy brain to
send a message to my right foot
to lift off..
now got it set at 5500
and still see the light from time to time
(mainly 2nd and 3rd)
dont know abut guide lines
dealer told me to keep it below 4000
till the 1000 service..which was really
painfull to do...
now i have had the service...it is fun time

mine is set to 3,500rpm and the nice little light and beep sounds whenever above this. so by the time I change it sometimes catches 4,000rpm. try to aim for about 3,000 before the light (or alarm if you have it set) come on. then after first service move it up a thousand!

 

6.5K

 

7,450

Yeah, I set mine to 6.3K, Not actually heard the light since I have run it in as I am still building up the revs.

 

Cupra, 6.2 is about right after it's run in IMHO. By the time the beeps gone and you've changed it's in the perfect place for the next gear.

How's the PPP BTW?

 

The ppp is great. It goes faster, it's must louder and it gives better fuel consumtion.

I rekon its actually worth it

Next mission..... 18" Gold Super Superleggera with Goodyear F1's all round. I already have a buyer for my wheels.

 

Set at 6,500.....and the light already needs replacing ;-)

Cupraman..yours must be a apecial model as I havent "heard the light" on mine at all ;-)
