S4 can't pass 220 km/h, any hint ?

Hello everyone,

Never posted in this forum so please forgive my potential bluntness.

In a french forum I'm attending to, an S4 owner struggles with the following : his S4 from 1999 can't go over 220 km/h (like 140mph), the engine is around 4500rpm in 6th gear but it feels like the ruptor was kicking in (engine is doing "burps" ?).

Does it ring a bell for you guys ?

Cheers,

Eric

Eric - what is a ruptor? possibly lost in the translation?
It obviously has a problem. [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]
Can the owner go over 4500rpm in 4th/5th gears OK? I presume not [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Oh yes. Don't worry about posting in here. We don't bite [img]images/graemlins/biggrin2.gif[/img]

The "rupteur" in french is when you enter the red zone and the engine stops "breathing" and bounces to the upper limit.

That's a rev limiter then. [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Eric, will the car not rev past 4500 in any gear or just 6th ?
