Hey guys,
Preface: I'm in Germany.
So, I hit limp mode this morning for the first time. I'm working night shift and on Sunday mornings the roads are empty. Using Mytracks app I found that after 6 minutes of normal warmup time, I hit it.. 4 minutes later I hit limp mode. Ambient temps were high 60's. I was running in 5th in the 130-150mph range with a couple trips to high 160s and the MyTracks app showed 172 as the top.
I'm here because I can't imagine hitting transmission temps that fast. Are there any other parameters that will cause limp mode? Oil temps were around 220 I think. Odd thing is that it happened the moment I hit the rev limiter in 5th. (which I think happened before 8200, hard to tell, lots going on so it could have been the limp mode kicking in..)
I have an Nguage and will put it in the car now, I assume I can log data in it, though I haven't looked into it and don't really have time to get into it.
Would this be useful to anyone or anything else I can do be useful? I can get through the twisties quickly as well for some 'research'.. I mean.. twist my arm...
As a side note, it pulled hard to 170.. too bad 6th is so long..
