rev limit question

[richib86]

hey so i searched this quite a bit on a few diff forums with no luck, why do the 6spd cars has a rev limit in neutral that spikes at 4 and then settles between 3600-3800 and if held for long enough will cut the motor even with your foot planted?

TIA

Protects the engine from damage.

Hold the esp button until esp and asr are switched off. Then you are free to rev with it in first gear and the clutch in!

Anybody know if there's a way to get around the rev limit in neutral with the S-Tronic? Trying to diagnose a whistle in my APR exhaust that only comes up over 4k rpm.

You can use it as lauch control on the manuals, had fun spining all tires:)
