So yesterday I was driving a friend around and wanted to show him the car.
When we were in a tunnel I put the DSG in N and revved it up to 4k (to let him hear the sweet catback). It did rev up to 4k but then I pressed the gas again to give it another rev and it didn't wanna rev after that first time (hit 4k first time) and I did put it back in D and drove off, after a few minutes it was at around 90°C and didn't notice any other weird quirks
The water temp was at the middle (like always) but the oil was only just around 70-75 °C. Can it be that the engine did cut off the power since it was not on 'full' operating temp? (normally I wait until its around 90°C, but it was freezing cold yesterday evening and I only had time for a small drive with him)

Re: Power cutout
The car limits the revs in neutral. It's a safety measure to prevent it being over revved with no load. Most modern cars do the same as it's not really good for the engine to rev it under a no load condition.

Oh yes, I know that it's limited to 4k revs if that is what you are pointing at.Cuprabob wrote:The car limits the revs in neutral. It's a safety measure to prevent it being over revved with no load.

But I revved it once to 4k and then I hit the gas again and it didn't do nothing (like I didn't rev the pedal)
But after that it drove fine and today as well so idk it's probably the computer I guess
