Title: hitting the limiter at 5000rpm!!!???
Post by: Neaty on 15 August 2005, 13:46

Hello all

My dad has recently purchased a Mark 3 8valve GTI on an N reg abd after i got my hands on it i noticed that it hits the limiter at 5000 rpm?? i was wondering what might cause this and what might be a solution.

On my Mark 2 16valve there was a similar problem in that it would hit the limiter at 6000 in stead of 7300 but after changing the spark plugs it seemed to have done the trick, should i try this???

Assistance is greatly welcomed

many thanks

Paul
