Apparently the ECU tells all
Defcon you maybe right, I can't say that I did or didn't, however if I was in 5th and shifted to 3rd and missed and got 1st it's explainable but never done that in my life!
5th to 1st is some downshift. Defcon you maybe right, I can't say that I did or didn't, however if I was in 5th and shifted to 3rd and missed and got 1st it's explainable but never done that in my life!
1st should be good for 40mph ish? Clearly M way speeds or making A/B road progress would mean what 14,000 rpm + territory.
I'd have a read of this:

As it sounds like a similar thing (although it sounds like it was never really sorted).
Over-revving a manual is possible on a downshift (not to the same degree under acceleration, and not at all with the DSG).

A road, 70 ish, 8k revs,
No disappointingly not spectacular at all, no oil or smoke or explosions, for theone year it's going to cost I should have at least got some fireworks
I'm just wondering having not seen the data myself, any specialists can tell me if that ecu will show that? It's some downshift and I'm not sure that's what happened

Very interesting thank youhttp://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/15212-over-revve...

80mph into second and the engine blows?No disappointingly not spectacular at all, no oil or smoke or explosions, for theone year it's going to cost I should have at least got some fireworks

My old Cavalier SRi would be on the cut out in 2nd just beyond 80mph - once downchanged and it was at 85mph in 2nd. Engine had zero issues possibly longer 2nd gear ratio made this a non issue ?

tty news OP - no engines you could source and fit at an Indy?
It's a lease, so I have a feeling if it's not done by vw it's going to cause probs on the handback. tty news OP - no engines you could source and fit at an Indy?Can someone tell me, IF I had done what they are suggesting what would the car have done? Some people suggest I would have face planted the screen and the wheels lock,
However there was nothing at all, some suggest there is software to prevent this?
How do I know it was a gear shift? Could the chain have snapped and spiked the revs? Could the engine simply have just blown and the spike in revs were a result?

Rpm doesn't increase if cambelt/chain snaps Can someone tell me, IF I had done what they are suggesting what would the car have done? Some people suggest I would have face planted the screen and the wheels lock,

Engine braking would happen but no it is not harder than a super dooper emergency stop it's would retard the speed but not by a huge amount.
Could the engine simply have blown?
The issue you have is the ECU logs usage - Porsche track the number of time rev limiter is hit and if there is a downchange beyond the rev limit. I'd imagine all ECUs hold similar data.
What's the current cost they are quoting?
