180k Coupe Sport not revving past 5k revs in Park

[240-singh]

Hi all,

I purchased a 2005 180k coupe sport yesterday. I have noticed that when the car is in Park, the car does not revv past 5k revvs. But when driving it does revv all the way to red as normal.

Is this normal behaviour?

thanks.

Yes, that's the rev-limiter.

It should prevent the engine from revving much over 4K in P & N to prevent damage to the transmission.

oh thanks very much for the quick reply. I was a little worried as usually in other cars you can revv all the way to the rev limiter which is at 7k revs(ish). Not that i want to revv all the way but was just worried as to why mine wouldnt.

c180k should go up to at least 6000k revs. make sure you have the car in s mode as in c or e mode the car only goes to 5k revs.
