derestricted

[rsubc]

This might be a silly one,

I was told my car my car was derestricted when I purchased it from the dealer

I am heading to Germay in a few months and hope to strech the legs on it.

1. How would I tell if this is the case.
2. If its not the case how can it be done, ie Vag-Com/Dealer?

Thanks

Richard

if you see > 7000 rpm in 6th I'd say you're derestricted
I think the limited stops at ~6600 or so

iirc the dealers will do it for German cars

for the rest of us we need aftermarket software

Mine is 7000 in 6th at an indicated 170.

Mine was fully deristricted & remapped but i never hit the absolute top speed.

Highest recorded was a genuine (through timing beams) 172mph & i was just shy of the rev limiter in 5th gear so had the whole of 6th still available.
