R-Line TDI hang at 2500rpm when stationary!

Post by SGW81 »

Hi all

My Scirocco R-Line tdi 2012 has had full remap but the other day by of chance i was on drive and noticed i couldn't rev above 2500 until car moved above 4mph, this tally's with launch control but the guys who mapped it swear they didn't upload that function? I've googled it and seems it's a VW TDI thing??

Do any of you have this or can explain please

Thanks alot all

It sounds like a safety feature to stop you writing off your clutch/gearbox

Can I ask why you would want to rev above 4.5k below 4mph anyway?

What's a stage 3 remap? lol

Anyway, they all limited to 2500 RPM when stationary. If you want to bypass that then turn off the ESP...

It's one of the features to protect people from themselves and common on most modern engines, diesel and petrol.
