VCDS scan? It should go past 130 even when standard.

Is it exactly 130? When I first got mine it wouldn't do more than 125 on a flat and it was because of the diverter valve.

True story, even then it was because I was in a mad rush to get home after getting some bad news.

You think it's running wrong then perhaps?  do they have speed limiters on as standard ?

I've not heard of a speed limiter on a map before and the car should be good for 150+ all day, I may have had more out of mine  :evilgrin:

Does it pull to 130 quickly and then stop?
Or does it start to die out and accelerate slowly up to 130 and stop?

Have you tried doing it would in 5th to see if it makes a difference? You can do 150 in 5th

I dont know then, as Rich suggested do a VCDS scan.

On the off chance you know anybody with a rolling road near you maybe get a speed run done on there and they might be able to tell you something.
