There is some good advice videos on YouTube in running in a brand new engine.
Worth a look.
There's a lot of bad advice too - hard to tell the good from bad.
You have the thrash it hard from day 1 camp and the don't take it over half revs until 1500.miles camp.
My opinion is just opinion too, but I've had 9 new VWs and an Audi. All but one have expected mpg, better than expected performance and negligible oil uses between services - mixed driving run in, not afraid to give a bit of stick when the oil is warm.
The one that did its first 800 miles on the motorway (pick up from Burnley for a broker buy driven down to Southampton to visit relatives, across to France on the ferry and driven home to Newcastle ended up being sluggish with poor mpg, used a litre of oil after 300 miles, another at 800 miles and a litre every 1500 miles thereafter.
