Default Uwe Ross (the programmer) has a great sense of humor! (more)

The code means that you over-revved the engine at some point, and the VAG-COM message is a GTI VR6 list joke from many years ago. The reason for the fault code is so that Audi can void your warranty if you bring in your car with 20 bent valves after you accidentally shifted into second gear instead of fourth. Tapping the rev limiter doesn't generate the code, but *slamming* it does.....

Default It is not Photochopped. It was just an alt+printscreen to a Kodak program.

It was done on the roof of Michael's TTR last night in the Hooters Parking lot!

Default the limit is the limit, right?

you mean the code will get generated if you hit the rev limiter
during hard acceleration, but not during more moderate acceleration?
why would it care? I'm assuming you can't exceed the limit in either case?
(disclaimer: haven't tried experiments)

Default means someone pushed in the clutch near redline while keeping throttle wide open

too fast for ECU

P.S. Don't let this person drive your car!
