vrs wont rev over 4k when still

[Azzy12]

As per title. I've read it could be the MAF, however I changed my MAF (as my maf was goosed), for a second hand one and no codes have come up since. What other reasons could cause this?:-)

[P34RC3]

Are you doing it from cold? My van doesnt rev over 3k from cold. Granted its not a vag but could be the same reason

Thought the revs are limited when stood still?

[grr666]

^^^ What he said, 

 

Think of it as a Launch control

My S3 does it too. 

[@Lee]

what they said ^^^ it's limited when not under load.

[group1rs]

Not limited on a mk1 VRS. Unless someone has coded it into a map

[niceyellow vrs]

Mine will bounce off the limiter in neutral if I want it to, as did my old Octavia so I don't think it's normal. Has the car been mapped?

[Azzy12]

Thanks for the replies. Yes Rtech has remapped it,stage2. Could it be tthe map? PS, I haven't revved it in gear when stationary, only in neutral..

[group1rs]

I would think it has Rtech launch control enabled and set to 4k rpm.

[Azzy12]

Hmm, ill try it tonight in 1st gear, but i asked Rtech about launch control and i was told uprated internals are needed...

[Azzy12]

Well I've tried it in 1st gear and it seems I have launch control.. Lol :-)

Try it too many times and you'll also have a bill for

a new clutch and flywheel (about 700 quid supplied and fitted for OEM items.)

Be warned.

I'd budget for an uprated helix clutch and smf setup if you plan to use

your new feature often.

Good work. Now try and see if you've got the rapid shot rev limiter thingy.

[Azzy12]

I don't plan to use LC often, just cool to know i have this feature lol And what's this rapid shot rev limiter thingy??lol

[Mankee]

It's like flat-shift. Drive along and instead of lifting off the throttle when changing gear, just press the clutch pedal down. If the revs flare up, you don't have it. If the revs stay where they are more or less, accompanied with four rapid rev limiter-style shot gun bangs (probably with flames), then you have it. Don't blame me if your rods get spat out though.

Anti lag ?

I bet that gets old real quick 

[Azzy12]

Id rather not flat shift tbh as it seems it won't be very healthy on clutch and engine if I don't have it lol I'm more than happy finding out I have launch control lol
