S3 limiter to 4000 rpm in N

[danilotto]

Hi Guys,

Very strange thing this evening. Just came back home and in the garage I gave a strong acceleration with the S-Tronic lever in N position. Well the engine did not go after 4000 rpm. I floored the accelerator and the engine stuck itself to 4000 rpm. No more.

I have the "oil change expired" message on the DIS (already booked the service next Monday)

Did you notice it??

Dunno... but this may be a 'safety' thing.
On launch control mine wouldn't rev past 4k before I took my foot off the brake.

Normal.

I'm sure all audis have a rev limit when in neutral

The R8 doesn't

Ok I will swap it for an R8 lol.

The new model please.

Joking aside...is it for avoid harming the engine or for any strange ecological directive?
