stutters nearing red line in 2nd
« on: 14 November 2007, 18:27 »
Hi,

I finally got my first Mk3 today. Was meant to get it on monday, so am very happy today. When i floor it in second, as i near the red line, the car starts to stutter a bit, is this some kind of limiter kicking in?

Thanks

Alex

Will post some pics up tommorow of the new car

Im not sure, i have driven it once back from where i bought it. I'm going out for a drive later, so will have a look. It might be me just being nieve and reving it too much. It's is quite a different car to drive from my olf banged out renault clio i have driven since i passed 5months ago!

I will have a look tho.

I've just been out for a drive and the car is no longer doing it. I'm guessing it might have done it just because it was sitting in a garage for a long time. I'm not sure why, but it seems fine now. :smiley:

also look at the how to guide thread in the mk3 maintenance section, loads of useful info and guides there.

Thanks Dicky

Was probably the rev limiter kicking early if it was close to the redline!
If its been sat a while it probably just needed the cobwebs blown out of it! :evil: :grin:
