Does anyone know why this is? And Could you get the limiter adjusted?

Not too sure why it does this,

 

You could probably get it mapped out....but why bother? I'm sure there is a reason VAG did it!

Do you actually think that revving the engine flat out in neutral is any sort of a good idea?

To be fair, it's not a bad idea. yes, sitting with your foot to the floor in neutral for a long period of time wouldn't be bright...things would get hot real quick.

 

But taking the rev's higher than 4k while stationary wouldn't be the end of the world with some mechanical sympathy.

Its not just the VRS. Its other engines too.

Its to profect the engine id guess.

Why would you want to redline in neutral? Its a fabia not a corsa

we have a long narrow tunnel near us, i always wanted to sit in the middle and rev the arse out of the car with the windows down, childish i know but wth, just call me Peter Pan

Who's saying I want to redline it? It's just that this is the onyl car i've had that has limited at a certain point and obviously when you've had a new fart exhasut put on you want to join in on the car parks

Do it the mans way? Slow down, put it in second, and boot it through?

Love doing that on the bike haha

Probably due to emissions legislation

i do that too on my bike  and when it pops its like a gunshot, always makes me smile

It's to stop you throwing a rod through the block and also emissions

As said before, why would you ever want to? I only found out at Rockingham sound testing.

Its a standered feature on most modern cars these days.

However if you put it in drive an let it roll forward then put it back into neutral itl rev past it(dont ask)

Airline Pilots do it, on a recent trip to Portugal we were sat for a good few seconds on the runway, engines trashing there t1ts off then into gear and away

My friend is an airline pilot, I ask him all sorts of questions and one of them was about this.

 

On take off, you hear the engines rise in noise, pause for a few seconds and then proceed to the predetermined take off thrust (not always full throttle I should add..) This is done to stabilise the engines as they don't always spool up at the same time which would case the plane to veer left or right depending on which engine was producing the most thrust.

 

In winter, the procedure is to keep the brakes on and throttle up to make sure there is no ice in or around the engines and to literally shake any remaining ice or snow off the wings and fuselage.

 

And sometimes they do it for, in his words 'For the fun of it' as you get a nice bit of acceleration when the brakes are released which means a shorter time to V1 and take off!

Quite interesting that! I do love the few seconds before take off for that reason!  

Big clue Ally; pilots don't remove the propellors (or bypass fans as applicable to type) when revving up for takeoff.

Apologies... what big clue?

That? I skipped over that as clearly it was joke! Jeeez cut me some slack haha!

 

Joke or not, I was just offering some explanation for it. :sun:

The props (or bypass fans) are what apply the load to most aero engines; there is no equivalent to revving them in neutral (unless the propellor is 'feathered').

*sigh* I'm lost.

 

My response wasn't anything to do with 'revving in neutral' on aero engines.

 

it was merely offering some knowledge in response to how it might be perceived that way while starting a take off.

Reckon it could be hooked up to vagcom and turn up the limiter? Im not saying red line but just a bit more?

Nike says just do it! In this case though 'just do not'. But if you must then let us know how much it might cost in the end when it goes tits up. It works as it does for a reason not just because they are spoil sports.

Bit of a pain. Went for my mot friday. Even tho I went for a blap to clear it out it still struggled to pass the emissions test. And not being able to rev it past 4k Ment they struggled to clear it out enough. Took a goof 15 mins of revving around before it passed. Engine was upto temp along with the oil so I just don't know why you can't go higher if you want to. It's my engine lol

Dont you think there might be abit more to that? Aha. Whys it burning so dirty to start with? Is it diesel?

If some goon started revving my car like that id be going elsewhere lol

Vrs petrol. And was an oil burner until recently
