  • Peugeot 205 1.8D - Rev limiter tampered! 30 Aug 2023 (Forum)
    When I took over a tractor other day, the car has pause round 4,000rpm, it doesn't feel like is limited on right rev of 5,540rpm what my manual book said, I have a multimeter tool clip the positive red cable to the alternator signal and the black negative to the battery. Idle speed on cold and warm is prefect, but when I tried to raise the max rev, my multimeter screen number has disappeared after 2,000rpm. I could not check the max rev numbers. I was thought that my multimeter was faulty when I purchased a new and better one than the old, it is done the same numbers is disappeared after 2,000rpm.

  • Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - oil overfill 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    Did regular checks the other day and noticed oil overfill. I'd say it is quite significant. It goes above max to nearly the same distance as from min to max marks on the dipstick (so I think it is about 0.7 litres). This however wasn't checked on a completely level ground, so in reality it may be a little bit less.
  • 306 diesel won't rev past 3100rpm... 18 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    For some reason the engine won't go past 3100rpm. It flies up to this point, really does. I've adjusted the max fuelling and it has given it a bit more go but it still won't rev past 3100rpm. It feels like I'm hitting some sort of limiter. If I give it max throttle it'll jump when it hits 3000rpm, but if I give it a little and let it accelerate more slowly it will creep up to 3100rpm before it starts jumping.
