I tried to see if I could hit the rev limiter earlier on my 1.6 FSI. On previous cars I've had (except in the very distant past) you could rev to somewhere near the red line - which is 6500 rpm on this, and then get a gradual tailing off towards the red line.
I tried (with a properly warmed up engine) today to get it to rev in 2nd gear - it reaches (slowly and reluctantly) just over 5000, them starts to die back and the Engine Management Light flashes - is this normal for the FSI? It feels as if something's wrong to me.
