k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,238 Member For: 15y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 13/11/20 07:03 AM Share Posted 13/11/20 07:03 AM Don't know why you'd want to be revving it that high when standing still... other than a of course. Sounds like there's a problem with a tune parameter for the rev range while in first gear. If tip-tronic doesn't work that's a whole other problem... probably something to do with the sensor in the gear selector mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing you need to do is get a scanner onto it and see what codes it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
