rev

As the title really, how high do you guys go in your LC/LCR's? Personally I don't go much above 5k when up to temp and try to stick below 2.5k when cold.

Hi, I test drove an FR TDI at Frosts (Shoreham) a while back and one of the things the sales guy mentioned was that the leons come over with a some kind of limiter programmed as standard (revs i guess) and they remove this as part of the PDI. Does this sound right to you? Thanks, Craig

hey guys just a quick post to ask whether any of you know what the rev limiter should be coming in at on my mates toledo. its currently bouncin off the limit at 5100 revs which is 1100 revs before the red line. any ideas? hes changed rotor arm and was thinkin it might be engine speed sensor...

juts coming home from Asda, jump on the m'way and car seems alright, get to about 70mph in 5th gear and the car wont go past it, drop to 4th gear and car revs but wont go past 70mph no warning lights so carried on driving (only live one junction away), and come on A roads, car feels like its...

Since having the coilovers fitted i have noticed that when in the low rev's (between 1300 and 2200 rpm) and a medium load is applied to the throttle, i get quite a loud deep rumbling sort of noise from somewhere in the engine bay on the driver's side. It only happens in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and is...

hey all, got home 2day and could here my engine gently reving by its self!! took a look at my revcounter and it was jumping from about 500rpm to about 800rpm..... anyone had this problem or know what causes it? cheers for any help.

Hi Everyone, I've been a reader for a while, but as my v reg Arosa has been really good, I've not really needed to post. Anyway, I have a problem which I'm told is 'common' (not that I believe this). My Arosa cuts out (not stalls) at low revs, e.g. when you're waiting to turn a corner and...

hi ive just bought a 99s cupra sport 8v but when i give it some it hits the rev limiter at around 4900 yet its no where near the red around a 1100rpm away what should it be and what would cause this?? also when its hot its very hesitanty when driving what is this as id like to try and fix as...

The only thing I have wrong with this car is the lack of a rev limiter, the noise of the engine even at 4500rpm is a gentle purr, and keeps asking for more!! Im worried that I may over rev and blow something. Has anyone fitted a limiter?

Just recently replaced all the tappets in my 1.4i 99 ibiza as it was a bit noisy when cold. Doing this has made a slight improvement but there is stil quite a loud tapping noise that sounds like its coming from just above no 4 cylinder. It mainly happens wen in any gear with quite low revs...

a bit bored, so thought i'd post a thread, haven't been in a 16 valve cupra so just wondered what they rev too? obviously its about 7k rpm, but in my 8v i still haven't hit the rev limiter and im going round to 6,300 rpm! don't really want to push it anymore, but in my previous 8v i it cut out...

Hey guys Ive got a ibiza AHU 1998 tdi however recently its been dropping in power in lower rev range.. usually b4 the turbo kicks in.. it seems like it hesitates or starved of fuel, well it actually drops in speed then will suddenly shoot off any ideas? some times i have to take my foot off...

I don't know if anyone can help me. I have replaced the dials in my ibiza mk2, everything went smoothly until I plugged them back in and now both the speedo and rev counter needles are dropping right down below zero. I have tried taking the needles off again and repositioning them, I almost...

Just had a revo trial put on my LCR, Its really good, loads more power, but when you get past 4.5 - 5k on the revs the power seems to fade, i've seen this reported before, spoke to the revo guy and he reckons i should get an intercooler, but it works out about £875 fitted, seems a lot of money...

Good day all , while i am in my 1.3 ibiza it runs well on 1st gear . being on 2nd gear it will act like this , a kick on the pedal will kick the REV meter to 3 or 4 k and it's true reading coz i can hear the engine reving . while the car is moving on same speed. sustaining the pedal down...

I've gotta ibiza 2.0 8v on a 97/R after an overheatin problem i've replaced the head gasket but whilst doin that the hall sensor (on the side of the dizzy) went tits up and needed replacing. Now, the car is hittin the rev limiter at 5000 rpm. Any ideas???

Hi guys, My Ibiza seems to have developed a nasty vibration type noise whilst accelerating at low revs. could almost be an exhaust type noise but im not sure. Most noticable in 2nd 3rd and 4th. Does anyone know what this could be? it doesn't sound nice and my local garage just says...

Does the new Leon have a rev limiter? Particuarly the 1.9 TDI This is my first ever brand new car so i'm still not sure what to expect with simple questions like this. I'm running it at the moment and haven't come close to the red line anyway but I'm wondering for the future. Thanks Carl

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help me... Got a 2002 1.9Tdi with an intermittent problem on the rev counter, it works perfectly for a while then goes mental, jumpin all over the place , erraticly moving around. So i am assuming as the engine is not revving erratically to match then its...

On average, once every other journey this will happen. Revs, just for a moment, will drop ....almost like fuel starvation. Obviously, been lots of threads similar to this, with a number of solutions, but this symptom doesn't really follow a trend. It'll randomly do it, and has not got any...
