Title: What does your GTi redline at ?
Post by: mwad gti on 03 September 2012, 15:36

Hi

This may seem a stupid thread so please bear with me.   :rolleyes:

I thought that the redline for GTi's was around 6200 rpm.
I got my new GTi on Saturday and the redline is approx 6750 rpm.

Was I just mistaken or is mine different for some reason ?

So a redline of around 6750 rpm is normal for the GTi mk6 ?

Some of the earlier (09) GTi's def redline at around 6200 rpm, yet my new GTi is at 6750 rpm.

Why the difference ?

I mean the actual redline on the rev counter.
Mine is 6750 rpm

Having just looked on Ebay at other 2012 Gti's, all seem to redline at 6000rpm.  Mine is def 6750/6800 rpm.
Also, both the speedo and the rev counter have a red ring around the outer dials ?  ( To look more sporty ? )

I am now getting concerned that everyone's GTi seem to redline at 6000 yet mine clearly doesn't.
Can anyone please comment on this

I seem to remember that was a revision change. What year is your car?

Thanks p3asa.
It is brand new, September 1st on a 62 plate.
I can't understand how/why the redline is different ?  Is the engine slightly modified ?

Sorry I meant the red ring round the dials being a revision change not where it redlines.

These are my clocks and they're same as any GTI or scirocco TSI I've seen. Redlined at 6k and both have a red trim round the clocks when they're lit up.
