Try cleaning your throttle body - can make a world of difference. Wynns Fuel Intake and Carb Cleaner from halfords...the best stuff for it and its less than a fiver

It should only limit when it hits the red line btw

i remember when i was learning to drive, the car i leant in had a problem like that,i can't remember what it involved or what it was called cos it was ages ago, all i can say is it's worth checking your electrics

Because it's a GTi and produces its peak power at 6500rpm?
