Hi all

Another problem with this vrs.

Tonight when coming home from work. Going from 4th to 5th gear the revs shot up to the limiter. Changed up to 6th and the same with me having to stop in the hard shoulder and switching off. When I say hit the limiter it went right into the red and bounced the needle a few times.

Idle can sit high at times like at light etc.

Any thoughts on this. As it could be very dangerous for the driver, other road users and kill the engine.

Clutch slip???

Wish I could hit the limiter in 6th gear as I'd be doing about 195 mph with my gearing lol.

Anything to do with an accelerator problem? Just an idea with it being dbw

Might be the clutch switch?

Bloody hell, what 'box is that?!

2003 asz 02j gearbox I think with 17'' wheels. 2,600rpm is 100mph GPS verified so roughly 5,000 rpm is around 190 odd mph lol. But my maths is rubbish lol.

No clutch slip as forgot to say when on hard shoulder it was still doing it stationary. Then I switched off.

I am thinking throttle pedal as it has the common high idle 1500rpm and pull pedal back it settle back to under 1000rpm. It also pushed the car when braking and revs sticking at 1500.

Now this rev issue.

New pedal time or something else.

Throttle position sensor?

Ah right, I'm somewhat amazed its that far out! I'm on an ASZ with the 6-speed 02M (which I assume yours also is, 02J was the 5-speed as used on things like the Octavia vRS, but mine has the known shorter, later ratios). 2100rpm is around 70mph (speedo), so 5000rpm would be around 166mph (speedo) on my 'box. I'm guessing 70mph is around 1800rpm on yours? In which case yeah, the long ratio boxes apparently do top out at around 195! I've just never sat down and bothered to work it out before...

I have the same box as Mr Rooney - I swapped it out for longer gearing for Santa Pod. I can now cross the line in 4th gear. 70mph indicated is indeed 1800rpm, in reality on mine about 67mph GPS.

Yes it's the 6 speed o2j box trying to remember what box it has after my LSD was fitted lol.

2100rpm is 80 mph and 70 mph is about 1700rpm/1800rpm. Very handy for when you need to cover 640 miles in one hit with no boost due to a split turbo pipe on the way home from the ring. 1700/1800rpm once gave me 69mpg over a 240 mile drive from the ring to Dunkirk following a landrover which spoilt my normal 2100-2600rpm cruise.

I once had 126 mph out of a 108mph Corsa hire car down a very long duel carriageway hill in southern Spain.

I wonder what my o2j gearbox would allow on my Ibiza???

I assume your Ibiza is petrol, hence the question? If 1800rpm in 6th is 70mph, then that's around 38mph/1000rpm. If we assume the petrol Ibiza redlines at 6800 (which I think is where things like the 1.8T redline, roughly) then at 6800rpm you'd be doing over 250mph.

No it's the asz diesel 130bhp with 205bhp/380ftlbbs.

Most I've seen is 152 mph (GPS ) on a flat autobahn. Can't remember the rpm as was busy looking where I was going. Well under 4,000rpm though probably about 3,700rpm.

Pedal or is there a seperate throttle position sensor?

I need to gets me one of these boxes :3. can you pm me the gearbox code as not to clutter thread too much?

Thanks for the gearbox info. Not much help to my topic.

Accelerator pedal bought now to collect and fit.

Anything else to replace or check for sticking throttle?

£96.60 inc vat thanks for that!

After fitting it's worth re-setting the ECU. Try this http://www.briskoda....e-up-brilliant/

Ok will do.

My sticking revs has been diagnosed by a Skoda tech at my local dealer. I had snow tyres fitted yesterday and since then this problem with sticking revs into the red. He said if the tyres are different size from the rears the traction control losses control. This causing the traction control to increase the revs instead of cutting back. So tyres swap tomorrow to hopefully stop the reving fault. Hope this helps.

As long as all the tyres are the same size the ABS/ASR will be fine, you have fitted winters all round as they should not be fitted to the front only. Fitting to one axle only will have very interesting handling whilst cornering on the slippery stuff.

Snow tyres on the front all ok. Correct size 205/45/16.

Pedal fitted and has sorted the idle problem and stopped the pushing into junctions when braking feeling....... Easy job o do.

1/2 of SFA to to do with the tyres then.
