Rev limiter?

[~craig~]

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

Hmmm I didn't test to see if the car I drove (FR TDI) had a limiter.

Maybe it's programmed in to something like 7k for TFSI engines which is way too high for a diesel. I don't know why it would be removed though for PDI, maybe just changed to kick in lower?

My TFSI definatly has a rev limiter, I suspect the diesels would have one too.

maybe they just move it up?

sounds like you mean while being transported to you to stop you car park oinks shagging around in new motors.

The diesels have a limiter - I bounce off mine from time to time

Do you mean that the rev limit was unusually low during your test drive?
