Quick DGS "Manual Auto" question? 29 Mar 2009 (Forum)

Golf GTi Rev Limit 5 Sep 2004 (Forum)
I have just bought a Golf GTi and gave it a good drive on the test drive and everything seemed to check out OK with a FVSH. The only thing was on the way home I put my foot down and the rev limit kicked in at 5,000 RPM (Red line about 6,100). Does anyone know why? Cheers for any advice.
