Wouldn't the auto disallow that?

Default transmission has nothing to do with engine over rev'ing....

I think that's what that code refers too, not the vehicle speed....and you get that by using a chip that raises the Max RPM setting.

Default did you get one???

I got APR and I believe the RPM limit is raised a little. that or my friend's VAG mod raised mine. If there is that code where is it? I've VAG'd my car before and I've never seen that code.

Default Sure it does

unless you're in neutral the transmission should upshift before an over-rev, one would think anyway.

Default You are correct. A Tiptronic should up shift and downshift without over revving...

Maybe there was a malfunction of some sort that allowed a slight over speed. You can clear the fault with a Vag-Com.

Default perhaps a bit OT from this guy...

but since we're on the topic of VAG and engine junk...

My car CEL went on. Solid light, any idea what is probably the most likely problem? I know that there's a million, but if its a solid CEL and it goes off like a couple miles later what would/could it be? I'm curious what everyone's most common CEL problem has been.
