Guest iharrison9 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 Should a 2001 1.9TDi (115) be able to rev above at 3,500 ? My car was a company vehicle and I wonderd if a rev limiter was fitted. As anyone heard of a rev limiter being fitted ? Quote
paulmpaciorek Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 ...sounds like it has encountered a fault and put its self into "limp mode"....or "get you home mode". The reason for this can only be read by Vag-com or similar. A rev limiter seems very unlikely as this would be a little dangerous in an overtaking situation. Paul Quote
NikpV Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 I thought the 1.9 PD tdi had a rev limiter which cut in just above 4k - perhaps 4.3k Quote
johnb80 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Yep that sounds about right, if it didn't have a limiter the MOT smoke test would destroy the engine! Regards - JB Quote
paulmpaciorek Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 ...yes but no but yes but no...it wouldnt be limited to 3,500 rpm......well mine isnt :blink: .....but when the maf was naf it did struggle..... Quote
Masked Marauder Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Mine revs to about 5K I think.... Quote
seatkid Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 Electronic rev limit is set about 5500 rpm. 3500 rpm suggests a MAF sensor fault to me. Quote
GSMGuy Posted December 29, 2005 Report Posted December 29, 2005 MAAAAAAAFFFFF!!!! Lol! Take some good advice, and get it changed lol.. Oh I am a happy chappie tonight :blink: Mike Quote
