I know, modern engines are pre-run-in, but I would want to settle all components, before exposing them to excessive forces.
No, actually they’re not pre run in. I don’t want to start yet another debate about running in, but it never ceases to amaze me how this myth persists. I think it’s often peddled by sales folk who tell customers what they want to hear.

I’ve seen Porsche petrol engines being assembled at Zuffenhausen and the first time the engine is fired up is when the cars roll off the production line. They are run very little at the factory and are usually delivered with about 15 miles on the clock, so they are most certainly not run in.

You are right though to ‘settle all the components’ before stressing them. Note what Porsche advises in the manual.

Oh no, no, no I am not rising to the bait.

There is nothing wrong with the 2.0 litre, but a few more horses will make it a much more responsive motor.

The 2.0 litre after all does have to move neigh on a 2 tonne motor when its fully loaded which is no mean thing for a 2.0 litre with limited torque.

I hope no Porsche guy sees that, if they do the base Taycan may very well not come with batteries as standard.

Yes, I was told that the engines are pre-run-in on a test harness, before fitted to a car, however for me that is not entirely correct and I would run-in the old fashioned way. Besides, all other components need to settle anyway.

On my other performance cars, I knew that the vehicle was run-in when the fuel consumption reduced and stabilised. That was surprisingly at 10’000 - 15’000 km.
