This happened to me on a 1 year old sxi, it was the crankshaft end that had worn down, the electronic sensor that is connected to the ECU is attatched to it, and because it wasn't connecting properly it was fuckin the ECU up, which made the limiter kick in at 4000rpm

Dont know if its related but.. when i test drove the car before buying it there was a rattling sound coming from the drivers side of the engine when accelerating. I asked them to sort before I handed over the cash. The said they'd took it to vauxhall and it was a camshaft sensor that needed replacing - and supposedly had been. I took it for another test drive and all seemed ok..the noise had gone and the light had gone off.

I have noticed today that the noise is starting to come back again, seems a bit of a coincedence that the light is back on too..dont you think?

Anyone any ideas what the rattling is? Sounds as if something hs fallen in the engine or something..gets louder the more you accelerate.

same problem as mine except nmines 3000rpm.

goes onto a diagnostic 2moz so i'll let you know.

Try a search mate there was a topic on this a while ago but I cant remeber what the outcome was!

read the fault code yourself, f_ck paying Vauxhall to do it. Learn how here > http://www.knighta.f9.co.uk/info/fault_codes/fault_codes.htm

Like i said, just a guess as i am no mechanic. But could be lucky.

Thanks a lot viera, if id known I could have picked one up while i was there. I'll go fetch one after work. Hope it is a air/fuel sensor as you say and nothing more serious!

Thanks again.

you will need to get the fault read, you can either do this by going to vaux and they will skin you alive, or buy the fault finder from halfords, this will tell you what the problem is but most likely an air/fuel sensor.

Hope this helps.

Yeah my engine management is on

does the ECU have a safe mode that limits the revs if there is a problem, im sure i heard this.

Did your engine management light come on?

shouldnt be limited there mate at all, its limiter kicks in at 6250 i think or summit round there!
summit wrong somewhere :/

Just been for a ras at lunch and experienced some violent jerking at 4000rpm. When I got to Ripspeed I put it into neutral and slowly reved up, as it got to 4000rpm it just bounced back repeatedly! Car is a 1.4 16v Sport, are these limited as standard? What do I need to do to remove it? A Superchip?
