Power cutout
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2018 11:38 am
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)
