Hi all I'm new to all this and was wondering if someone could help. I recently bought a 2013 focus 1.0 ecoboost and noticed that it only revs to 4000rpm when parked? It revs fine when driving just wondered if this is normal or is it a problem? Thanks

Welcome to the family!

The fiesta isnt my strong point, so I cant advise specifically, however, it doesnt sound right to me?

Thanks for the reply, it's a focus 1.0 ecoboost 100bhp if this helps?

Yeh mines the 125 fiesta ecoboost which Is the same engine and I'm sure mine does that too, nothing to worry about :) il double check for you later when I nip out.

It's a safety feature I think, to stop you redlining when not moving with no cold air feed etc

given the events of late where some muppet set fire to his car in the car park, its a good idea that they put a feature like that in!

Thought that's what it might be! Thanks for your help much appreciated

They probli seen that video and thought best make a safety feature.

Il check when I go out later and let you know for certain

Thanks mate

Can confirm it limits itself to 4000, mine got to 4200 and bounced back and wouldn't go anymore foot to the floor. Felt weird.

Thanks for the reply mate! Can relax now haha

Hahaa no worries, just have to redline it in 2nd (it's much more fun). Safely and sensibly ofcourse ;)

a useful feature, it does make sense, but I havent heard of it - I suppose that would be due to a limited number of people wanting to test such a feature?
