    Forscan is a free download https://forscan.org/home.html you will need a modified ELM to connect with you OBD port the ones from tunnel rat are the best https://tunnelrat-electronics.fwscart.com/USB_Modified_ELM327/p4541936_17045457.aspx, I'm presuming you have a laptop

    Hi sorry a bit off topic but are you able to add a rev limiter with forscan so you can't red line it?

    Hi, been searching for answers. Will try here. 

    I've got a 2010 Mk7 minibus and Ford tell me it has a speed limit governor fitted at factory. 

    Does this mean it's made with some sort of mechanical speed limit governor or just programmed in the ECU etc. 

    Thanks
