cars topping out at 107mph

[kingaz]

Took my car on a private airstrip to test the topspeed. It doesnt budge over 107 mph. Also thru the gears it gives up at 5000rpm. Any ideas?

It's in limp mode. Get it scanned for fault codes as a first step, what engine is it?

Well it's only hitting 5000rpm which suggests limp mode. I thought that just capped the revs at 5k?

I reckon mine would do 107mph at 5000rpm

not 100% with a golf but when our a3 went into limp mode it would be lucky to do half that

I haven't had it on the MK4, but when my Mk3 went into limp mode there was no reduction in power, it just hit the limiter early.
