Leon FR 150- Reving After Let off

[andycupra]

even though its fly by wire, it has to take a reading from somewhere.

ive had two leons, (ok they are petrol) and both have on occassion continued to accelerate for a split second after lifting the throttle.

Any chance this is caused by the momentum of a heavy flywheel?

I wounldnt of thought so because of the high compression of diesels, but it could be. Does it on mine too btw.

Don't think so.

Bizarrely enough, I noticed mine do this the other day. Revved it up fairly high whilst out of gear, when I lifted off it continued revving for a second or so before slowing down.

Mine does it too. Cane it in 1st, dip the clutch for the gear change and it revs its nuts off for about 1 sec before dropping. I think its a characteristic of the car and don't really worry too much about it. I'm more interested in snatching 2nd cleanly for a good stint upto a nice fast change into 3rd and onto the wave of torque that pushes me to the speed limit (and beyond if I'd let it ).

just a little off topic but what revs does the speed limiter cut in at on the 150 tdi engine... i have taken mine upto around 5000rpm once or twice when i have been carried away and it doesnt seem to know when to stoprevving... all the petrol cars i have owned have always had a rev limiter.. and you knew when you hit it..

the PD is usually limited to 4900 rpm

4900 mine will rev into 5000 5100 and shows no sign of stopping alhough as i said in my earlier post i have only done it once or twice by accident....
