Our red line is at 6k rpm, but I accidentally revved it to about 6500 in second gear today, and nothing kicked in to stop me. I'm surprised that this car doesn't have a rev limiter at red line. Looking for about rev limits on these engines (2.5)?

I'm the proud new owner of a B6 Passat I picked up this weekend. I keep getting the "0 MPH speed exceeded" on my MFA screen every time I turn on the car. I know how to browse through all the optional screens on it and reset everything, but unsure if there is a way to default a different screen on start up?
I don't have the manual, about the only downfall of my car so far [URL] .....
Golf/GTI VII :: What Is SD Card Size Limit For Audio System
Just curious how large of an SD card the MK 7 audio system can recognize, as I believe there were limitation in previous generations. I was hoping to get a 128GB card and throw all my tunes on there instead of using an ipod or my phone.
View 15 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Wheels Locking Up Under At-the-limit Driving / Brakes Malfunction
Today I had a wonderful experience at the morning session of the Auto X school at Waterfest 19. It was my first autocross experience and, man, it was a blast. I couldn't believe the car I've been daily driving for three years has so much untapped potential!
Anyway, I had a bit of a technical issue that was holding me back. I got my first two runs in with the instructor on board; I was slow but had no issue. Then, the instructor took the wheel to show me how it was done and ended up spinning the car out on a section of the course with back to back 90's turns, turn #2 having a reducing radius. It felt as if the brakes just locked up and the back end just came all the way around. Once I got back in and had more of a grasp of the car's ability, I experience the same issue and had a few spin outs of my own, in glorious clouds of white smoke.
The feeling is like the car locks the brakes, the brake pedal travels further to the floor, and the throttle is disabled until the car settles again. It even happened once or twice without pressing the brake at all; just engine braking and hard turning in, the brakes locked with no interaction with the brake pedal.
I've been able to duplicate the experience by "panic braking" in the straight line. When the car begins to skid, letting off the pedal will not disengage the brakes and the throttle will be deactivated until the car settles.
What would cause this? ESP was off, but do our cars have a yaw sensor or some system that will still apply the brakes when the car is at its limit? I searched but didn't find much. The car is on stock suspension.

How can one get a too lean AND a too rich error, within 150 miles? I'm guessing the too rich code was what through the CEL last night. For reference, the only mod is APR stage 1. That will teach me to drive "spiritedly" with a Porsche Turbo S. (which sounded amazing at WOT btw..)

View 3 RepliesGen 2 Prius :: How To Limit The RPMs
I have this 100+ mile commute on an Interstate through the mountains. One way, Cruise Control 79.9 mph. For 3 or 4 minutes total I am climbing hills to the point my little gen 2 is turning right at 5,000 rpm. I was wondering how I could go about limiting the rpm's to around 4,500 rpm. Then I could just set the CC for 81 or so and make it in the same amount of time, but without abusing the engine so much. How to do that?

What is the weight limit for the Prius to avoid so the back end doesn't sag too low while driving? I would like to place 2 big suitcases and 2 small carry ons in the truck. Is this too heavy meaning will the backend look too low while driving? Weight on all 4 (150lb approx) plus 4 people (350) is what worries me.
View 19 RepliesCamry 2012+ :: Speed Limit Not Displayed On OEM Nav
So, one of the features in late model Toyota nav systems is supposed to be the ability to have the speed limit displayed. I've come across a bug (admittedly, others have too in other vehicle forums) where the speed limit isn't displayed unless you set a destination. After you do, the speed limit for the road you're on will be displayed if you have it turned on in the options menu. If you reach the destination or delete the destination and continue driving, the speed limit will stay on the screen, as it should have been the entire time. Once you shut off the car and turn it back on, the speed information is gone again. Repeat the destination, then delete, and it's back.
I went on their website and reported the bug last Friday and got a call this morning from Toyota. They are having me bring my car in so someone can inspect it next week. The more squeaky wheels...
For reference, I have a 14.5 with the JBL and nav. I don't know for sure if other years are supposed to have this feature. I found the button in the options button at the top left of the nav screen. '15 Highlander people are having the same problem, and I'd guess the '15 Camrys are as well. I'd guess the software driving the units is pretty close to identical.

I thought I smelled anti freeze the other day pulling a hill with a trailer so I stopped and looked and have no puking and coolant level is exactly the same as when I changed the coolant last year and I haven't added any. So I went and bought a gauge and took the truck in over drive to 30psi boost floored to about 90mph and coolant pressure climbed from about 2psi to roughly 6psi and it stayed there until the truck cooled off at home. Truck has SCT tuned and ARP studs and egr delete.
