Title: Warnings
Post by: Tortaruga on December 30, 2012, 05:42:17 pm: Does anyone know if the gti has a limited top speed, like say an M3 which is 155mph (I think)?

Also, does anyone know if the gti has a low washer fluid warning light?
Sadly, I've been looking at this:

I have a feeling some of these are more recent warnings that VW have come up with and are not applicable to the Mk5.
DSG transmission too hot warning light? :popcornsoda:

Cheers

Title: Re: Warnings
Post by: zerolag on December 30, 2012, 07:10:16 pm: 146mph actual is probably about 160mph indicated

There is no electronic restriction on either the GTI or Ed.30

This, except it was filmed on a calculator:
