Is it manual or auto?

Can't be turned off as far as I know

Every diesel engine is the same.
It's a safety feature.

Mines happily refs to the red line, this is required for the MOT they doing here. So not all diesels are the same.

I’m pretty sure it can be removed. I know it can be done on vag/Audi’s as they raise it for popcorn limiters

My 2010 manual A20DTJ can rev past 3k, pretty sure this convo has been had before somewhere?

[shaunc3160]

manual, my mates diesel does the same

[shaunc3160]

yeah its only when stationery, i was told its a safety device to protect the engine

[shaunc3160]

yeah ive had a popcorn limiter on mine in the past mate, this is just when your stationary it wont rev past 3000rpm, once you are moving it flies up to redline, a bit toss when your at the lights and sum cock in an st is revving his engine and i cant
