VZ RPM Question

its to stop idiots like you over revving your car, all auto alloytecs do it,


as for the boiling noise, i would say you either dont have the right coolant(if any??), also posssible you have air in the system.

OR sitting there trying to rev it past 4000rpm constantly has over heated it

 

do you mean it wont rev past 4000rpm in nuetral or when your driving it wont go past 4grand?

 

in nuetral

 

lol on a boat bitch, <3 that video clip ..........

Have you had a look at the dash on start up to see if it's in protected mode? (or whatever it's called).

 

It won't rev past 4k in N or P.

But should def rev past 4k in 1 or D...

 

well thats different to your first post

that to me says, when im sitting in P or N, the car wont rev past 4k (which all auto alloytec wont)

so does it drive fine or not??? not reving past 4k in drive is not fine

 

naf33n you have done nothing but make deconstructive and criticizing comments. His car wont rev past 4000rpm in neutral or in motion. You knew what he meant so why the attitude?
The alloytec does have a feature that prevents you from loading up for a hard launch. The fact that it's doing it in neutral is strange. I'm guessing here but i'd say there is a feature that prevents over revving in a damaged engine. Might just be your plugs. As Ewok mentioned there is a limp home mode. I heard about it somewhere but don't remember exactly what it does. Check your handbook for all your dash lights and meanings. Also just because the light isn't on doesn't mean it shouldn't be, etc bulb, wiring. hope it helps a bit

 

I've been following mainpath's vz purchase and he's gone and bought a car with a doubtful service history and from the sounds of it didn't get it inspected. These problems would have been identified at an inspection and mainpath probably could have got the previous owner to fix these problems, or cancel the deal if they didn't.

I can understand why naf33n is doing this because I know I was shaking my head when I read the OP, he was asking for problems.

 

As far as I am aware there is actually a "cooling off period" after buying a new car whereby if you find anything drastically wrong with the car, you can null and void a contract? Don't quote me on this but it's something I have heard in the past.

 

um no, im just trying to get a clear understanding to try help, his first post described the car as if it wont rev past 4k in P or N... which is normal, and in the same sentence said it drives fine, which tell me the car revs out as it should...

im trying to help, not playing guessing games and assuming what i think he means:bang:

 

AFAIK that only applies if you bought from a dealer, who also have to provide a 3yr statutory warranty on a car under 160,000km (I think) which would cover serious issues like this.

None of that applies to private sales.

 

Yeah, as I said don't quote me but that sounds a lot more like what I was trying to remember.

 

Oops, sorry, I've reattributed the quote
