My Car hits the fuel cut off limiter at 39 in first gear, 73 in second gear and 110 in third gear I think either your car have different engine or your speedo has %50 error
I tested several times. Don't worry nothing is gonna happen since this is a protection mechanism.
I'm not sure if I'm right but I feel there is a relation between the maximum speed in each gear and the gear ratio for the first 4 gear (correct me if I'm wrong). looking at gear ratio for this DCT I found 4.81 / 2.59 / 1.70 / 1.28 :1 and the relation is almost there. 39 * 4.81 is almost equal to 73*2.59 and 110*1.7 and 146 *1.28; however I have not tested the last one yet
This Car is amazing. I usually drive in Manual mode and you know you have to change the gear. It was in the morning and I was in rush so had no time to let engine warm up. I started driving with cold engine and I was not so concentrated on gear changing I heard the engine sound was revving high and then I felt the rev decreased. I looked at the cluster and I saw the gear was changed to the second one. I thought something is wrong so at lunch time called the SA and shared my experience with him. He told me this is the protection mechanism to protect the engine when It's cold even if it is in manual mode; the ECU will do the driver's job
