Hey Guys
Why does my Rev limiter kick in at 6000 rpm? Or is this normal.

Sorry buddy. Only noticed 2nd and 3rd and always when warm

So it has a cold limiter to protect the engine oviously. Granted when ever i have hit the limiter its only been when the temp gauge has got to normal, and not after a prolonged drive.

That's showing water temp. Oil takes a lot longer to warm up !

Should look at thermostat then. Not had the car long (3 weeks) never driven are read up on these before. Have owned Scoobies for years but this little thing is a different kettle of fish.
Hello,
I have a rs 182 2005 and I noticed the engine cuts when I'm overtaking or having 'fun' and I know that I must be in the 7000rpm range perhaps a little over but honestly in these situations I'm watching the world outside and not the rev counter. Reading this thread it confirms that there IS a rev limiter (saying change gear t**t) and so I'm not blowing the engine....... my question is then... Can I rely on the limiter to protect the engine or am I living 'on the edge' when it cuts in and I should really really avoid that situation ... any comments welcome:race:
