2003 A4 3.0 Speed limiting in ECU
Please don't chastise me. But in the name of science I took my A4 out
on an empty highway near me yesterday. After some test runs up and
down this road to nowhere, looking for speed traps. I tested to see
if it was indeed programmed not to exceed 130MPH. At 135MPH I felt my
question had been answered. At that point I asked myself, "What are Y
rated tires good till?" At that point I let of the gas and two mile
later I was back down to 75MPH, it felt like it could have gone faser,
and the car felt great.

At an indicated 135mph, I'd expect you to be doing less than 130mph.
Does that climate control hack that shows you the speed in KM work on
a 2003 A4? It might be worth seeing what that says. Of course, looking
down at the climate control screen whilst doing 130mph might not be
the smartest course of action!
