Blue Loop Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 3000 rpm are quite a lot for diesel engines, there you have them turbo blowing hard style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />looks stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 QUOTE(twisty `b-road`)Do like the greyLoving the old car in the background. It was making some racket anyway, the guy was just there revving it and then took off at about 50 mph!Engine sounded well rough like there was a blockage or something and he was trying to blast it out.

Blue Loop Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Not until you run it in mate, better not go past 2000 or 2500 till you have 6000 - 7000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynsey Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I only rev mine up to 3000 (not all the time, just when you wanna move...and quick!) but I've never, from what I can remember, revved mine over 3500 :oops: You can hear the turbo easy enough revving to 3000 but I'm too scared it's gonna blow up or something going much higher! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> And with my past experience of a `trouble-some` car...that's quite likely!

DJ Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Phuck :!:I was told the running in period was 1500 miles @ 2250 rpm!Revved it to 3000(ish) once or twice now for overtaking, but not doing it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Darren (Lincolnshireslupogti) recently had (or is having) a lot of work done on his GTi engine (warranty). The guys dealing with it say that it's perfectly safe to rev the GTi engine to 9000RPM, but the limiter is set at about 7K for reliability. (That and the power depreciates after 6.5 anyway).
