Over-revved my Cupra?!?!

[turbomonkey]

Coming up through the gears and accidentally shifted from the top of 4th into 3rd instead of 5th

F*'~#!!!!

Think I saw 7500ish on the rev counter

Car seems to run fine, but I’m worried I’ve hurt it. Redline is about 6500, think the rev limiter is ~7000

How will I know if I've done it a mischief?

Would it have gone into limp mode?
Is over rev reported in diagnostics?
What noises / potential broken oparts should I be looking out for?

if youd done damage youd know about it, dont worry matye, bulletproof engines...

Rev limiter is 7200rpm and you would know if you have hit it or not.

No damage would of been done though.

I won't worry to much about it, you should see the stress testing they do on these engines in development, i think i seen a program once where they had one running full tilt for 3 weeks non-stop.

Diagnostics may show the "maximum engine speed exceeded - warranty void" fault code... If it runs as before without any new noises, then i wouldn't worry.

A mate of mine shifted from top end of 3rd (95mph) down into 2nd instead of 4th, unfortunately it wasn't a Seat, hence it didn't survive!
