ECU Tune Break In Procedure?
I have just received my newly tuned ECU today and i seem to remember reading somewhere on this forum over the last four months about a break in procedure for new tunes. Could someone remind me on what the procedure is or if they can remember a thread on this please advise. I have spent the last hr and a half searching the forum with no luck.

well you should drive it hard for 200 miles or so.
Most of the tunes also resets the TCU so the car will learn the shift points.
Hence they might tell you to floor it. It's more for the car to learn your driving.

Its adaptive. Soon as you get into some traffic it will change again.


Just drive and enjoy the new power.

Tech from brabus told me that it effects the sport setting.

The comfort setting adapts on the fly.

Where as the first few hundred miles learns the points for the Sport Mode.

And Manual would be well Manual
