#1: Engine automatically revving hmm Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 12:45 pm ---- Hi all,
This has happened a few times now that the engine would rev to max (red limit) as soon as the engine is turned on, not sure how long as I turned it off straight away. It also auto revved twice whilst driving at around 4k revs which totally freaked me out and had my heart racing especially when I applied the brakes and it would continue to rev to 8k then back to normal after few seconds.
At first I thought the gas was applied but I am certain now there is nothing pressing against it. This happening is rare however probably 4th or 5th time today, I will no longer be driving it now as it seems dangerous and obviously not very healthy on the engine and will be driving my Golf until I have fixed this.
Any thoughts?

Ive no idea if the GTI 180 was part of this recall but it doesnt hurt to ask a main dealer the question.

No recalls outstanding and nothing about BSI updates regarding this issue. The only one is if you are running version 34, it might cause a immo and failure to start problem.

Will be in contact with dealer then, maybe the update will fix both this and autolock issue thanks!

The 180 has never been fly by wire though has it?

The 180 was allways fly by wire. It was the 138's that are mainly cable throttle, some of the very last one's had fly by wire though.

I am not sure if the Peugeot has a throttle cable but i would get it looked at. Spraying it with WD40 helps temporarily.

Fly by wire = electronic throttle
