I kinda babied mine. I think the manual says not to rev it past a certain rpm (2/3 of redline?) during the break-in period (1500km). However, it is kind of tempting to see what it's capable of. :)

For me, it was about 5.5 weeks from when the car went into production to arriving in my city. Not bad considering it has to wait to be transported by ship and rail car afterwards.

I meant the week it actually is in production - which for you would mean week 29. For me it was listed as "Assigned Production Week" and "Actual Production Week", but both were the same.

VAG-COM - Good to Have?

You guys are lucky it's only a couple of months of waiting. When I ordered mine, I knew going into it it would be 3 months minimum. Turned out to be 3 days short of 5.5 months.
