Yeti question

[dfps]

Can anyone please tell me if the Yeti has a rev limit when stationary.?
I tried to rev it and it wont go past 2500rpm as if it is electronically limited ?

Yes it does, like many modern cars.

It makes doing a noise test at a motoring event awkward!

My diesel won't rev over 2500 but my wife's petrol mini goes up to the red line. Is it a diesel thing?

As Graham says, yes.

 

EDIT. Have you tried depressing the clutch and see if you can red line it then?

Yes, from what I can gather it's specific to diesels. I don't know the ins and outs as to why it's so though.

It's launch control. The petrol cars don't have it due to their lack of torque ;-)

Thank you.

Have now managed to find additional info that if Traction control is turned off the car will red line ( not that I would want to do that )

 

I was worried that I had done something wrong after using VCDS to remove redundant error codes.

 

Now happy that all is ok.

I noticed that at Bedford on Saturday.

 

Bloke asked me what the redline was, I said 5k, he asked me to rev so he could measure noise - I didn't tell him it limited at 2500....not that a standard Yeti would have been an issue anyway

 

Amusing that when he tested Richard's bonkers blue Yeti, he probably held the device near the exhaust at the rear. 

What he didn't realise was that one's just for show - real one exits underneath somewhere, so it probably helped reduce it by a few dB....

His is a bit louder than mine though
