Yeah I have the 1.8t, it just seem abnormal.

That's about where I am at for around 80mph.
It's normal.

You see that red line on the tach?
As long as you are not past that red line, the engine is designed to run there at that engine speed for a long time.

Don't worry about it. At that rpm range my VR6 gets extra peppy, so I like it. As the last post said, just stay away from that red line.

You gotta remember that our cars were first designed to be "Bahn-burners" (in some sense of the phrase). As such, they can cruise all day long at 100mph and not even break a sweat. Our cars have very good cooling systems, too. Nothing to worry about.

PS to all.
It's always RPM...not RPM's
Just helping us vortexers sound ejumacated.
