Hi everyone, I have just been given a 2010 plate diesel fiesta van from my work to replace my old transit, didn't really need the space! The problem is the fiesta has some sort of rev limiter that cuts in every gear apart from 1st at 3000rpm! Can this be removed or is it all done through the ecu? Really does my head in when trying to overtake or climb hills since only really has any power between 2 and 3k!!

Hi

It should be around 4500-5000 not 3000 surely there is a problem.

Now if i remember correctly when there is an engine management problem the car limits its speed so you can take it to your local ford dealer.

Are there any dash lights illuminated when driving.

Does the car rev over 3000rpm when stationary.

I think it's more likely to be a limiter imposed by FVM's employer rather than a mechanical fault - probably to save fuel. To be honest I've got no idea how you'd go about removing it, just don't tell anyone at work about it!
