On Tuesday long story short, I was driving and to avoid someone hitting me I had to accelerate a lot faster than I usually would like to just to get out the way. As I was accelerating the revs must have been high, but I didn't have chance to look at the rev meter but all of a sudden as I was accelerating the engine lost power for a second or so. As soon as it did this I changed to the next gear and the car seemed fine.
After doing some research I'm pretty sure this was the rev limiter kicking in. I have a 1.2 TSI seat ibiza I-TECH, 64 plate, 15k miles.
After this incident I am worrying that this could have caused damage to the engine or turbo?
There is no warning lights on the dashboard.
I never rev my car that high and this was a complete accident and a one off.
Just looking for a professional opinion on whether this as a one off incident could cause damage to the car or turbo?
Thanks in advance
