How harmful is flooring the accelerator in an Audi A4?
1 Answers
Flooring the accelerator has little impact on the clutch, but prolonged use can cause certain wear to the engine. Additionally, it can lead to low engine RPM, and flooring the accelerator from a standstill can result in engine seizure. Effects of flooring the accelerator: The vehicle's power is closely related to its displacement. The smaller the displacement, the weaker the power output. It's well known that under normal conditions, a vehicle's engine RPM ranges between 2000 and 4000, and it's rare for it to actually exceed 3000 RPM. While pressing the accelerator further can increase the engine RPM, it's generally not recommended to do so. Fueling limit: Due to differences in engine models, each vehicle has a maximum RPM limit. Some vehicles' engines will automatically cut off fuel supply once they reach 5000 RPM, while others can go up to around 7000 RPM. At this point, no matter how much you press the accelerator, the engine RPM cannot increase further, meaning the engine has reached its RPM limit.
