On my Golf R it would go into the shaded red zone before changing gear. The polo seems to change a lot earlier.

9n my manual Golf R, for a lot of miles, the rev limiter used to cut in at 6000 revs when accelerating, now it'll hit 6750 if you want it to. I can't remember the exact threshold for change but it was well after the running in period - maybe 6k miles or thereabouts?

All recent VWs (since the MK7 Golf came in 2012) operate under reduced performance until the oil reaches 50C.

Had confirmation that my 2nd Polo GTI+ did get ordered after chasing the dealership up, so the order books must be open again after the October hiatus, even though you still can't configure on the website as a consumer. Have my order number and status is with factory, order's been in at least a week.

Interesting, maybe its 10000KM which is around 6200 miles and it'll rev higher than it does now. I'm on about 5500 miles at the moment, will keep an eye on it!

I got my Golf R on 18000 miles so was well run in by the time I got it.

I am at 2500kms and she won't rev past 6000rpm, even in manual sport modes.
I have found though, if you have it in standard drive mode, change to manual, it's still "normal drive" changes, no popping exhaust etc. BUT if you have it in S / Sport mode,(clicking the drive selector down) and then change to manual, it's got the quicker shifts and exhaust pops.

Also - if you turn the car off in selective sport/custom / economy mode, when starting backup it will still be in that mode but the gear selection returns to "d" standard drive (even from economy!).

I have a noise rattling at the back i haven't found yet.
Oh and if anyone wants to know how much a replacement 18" Brescia is with tyre - $1675 incl GST (NZD) so $890 pound? Quite high!

If anyone has anything they want me to try out/test feel free to ask
