Watching the video the ECU took the engine into protection mode during an 'over rev' when downshifting and the RPM topped 7000, or when upsifting with not enough throttle lift when dipping the clutch. Maybe time for a custom ECU so you have more control over the engine and can cut ignition over a set RPM if the clutch is depressed

If you watch the first incident around 6:00, you'll notice that RPM wasn't even 6000 when it failed. I would guess some wiring is a bit loose and with G-forces combined with suspension shock, some electronics gets unhappy. If you scan the control units, you'll probably find which part is have intermittent short to ground or open circuit.

Nice video. Haven't been following this build too much but looks well built

Great project tuning and pushing the Golf to the limit 💯 It looked like the crank sensor and software reached its limits to prevent breaking the engine.

Luckily, only damage the lower bumper, plastic lower grill, and slightly bent an oil cooler…with a skid mark and residual along the whole bottom center section from front to back and some residual deer stuff on the oil pan with a minor little ding.

Awesome to see the car out on the track. Factor the aeb radar on the front. Make sure that is clean and secure. If that is dirty or rattles around a bit it might cause the epc.

Even with all the issues on the lap, it was good to see you had full trust in the owner to turn off all the traction aids while you concentrated on the driving. That must make it at least a little bit easier

Those are some crazy driving skills 👀💪🏻

Awesome driving once again! would really love to see that R fly around the ring with full send once the car got its hickups sorted out :)

Ooooooo wee if vw made a stock track car this is what I imagined it would look like. Genuinely awesome work and lovely finish, not over the top but just the right amount of oh yeah....

EPC light also does come on with the 4000rpm warning

Looks like the EPC light turns on when tyhe power cut happens. Per VW it's one of these: Engine Speed Sensor Malfunction, Brake Light Switch Malfunction, Mass Air Flow Sensor Malfunction, Problem with the Cruise Control, or Problem with the Throttle System

that thing is a beast, makes me want to build one & daily one

the sound is amazing

I can recommend do88 radiator for overheating issue, doing good job in skoda octavia with similar power

I´m a honda guy, but i love the golf R. Such an amazing platform.

I had the same problem with my seat leon cupra 5f. when it goes into safety, it means that the oil level is too low because it has certainly degauged. it is a safety device to avoid breaking the engine......

VW engines are way overengineered for the internals.

bit of a battle box haha, the 100-200 isnt very quick considering the weight and hp. but misha delivered as always great video mate

Bro is living the life

My guess is it's over boosting on the up shifts peaking 7K+ RPMs just enough to active the overboost cut. At that critical shift point it just doesn't have anywhere to send all that boost pressure maybe an issue with the blow off valve not reacting fast enough. FYI This is just a educated backseat diagnosis from 30+ years in the Auto repair industry.

great stuff thanks

i was expecting a dsg one. but great build, great channel.

Amazing video and lap, love the build of this Golf. I was wondering, why sometimes it seems that you keep the gas slightly open while breaking at the same time?

So damn and freaking cool that is a manual too!! Always get dissapointed when I see DSG, great trans and all, but so much cooler watching someone row some gears!

That 4000 rpm error that comes up is a common problem for tuned Golf’s/AE888.3 motors. My worker GTi (450bhp) also does it, weirdly in third gear and when hovering the throttle. I simply turn the motor off and on to clear it. When a modified tune is added to the car there is a compatibility dysfunction that occurs where various other systems over ride/interfere with the computer. Tuners don’t and cannot tweak and modify all of the systems that are connected into the main engine management system and the risk is always that these systems ‘take issue’ with the changes ECU parameters (the tune) causing them to react. In my car it is always the cruise control system and the fault codes we get are all showing this as a fuel cut. Despite that it may not be running it is still ‘alive and connected’ in the back ground. We found that it can’t be overcome unless the main ECU is replaced entirely with an aftermarket unit. As long as there is continued use of the factory unit these sorts of issues occur. I’d recommend on a race car stripping all the factory wiring out and installing a proper ECU and you’ll see your issues go away. On the issue of heat my GTi also runs into issues on the track despite having 3 oil coolers and a race radiator. The AE888.3 inherent issue is that it can heat up to untenable oil temps on hot runs on hot tracks. The solution is running more and larger coolers, emptying the engine bay of things that cram it up. But other than that - welcome to squeezing the pup out of Golf’s. There is a reason why VW doesn’t push the boat out too far - the block is great but it has a bunch of weaknesses.

Don't know why but that dangling wire is triggering me 😂

It could be a PCM issue. The extreme increase in power to the stock drivetrain and internals could be driving the computer insane. It’s detecting something but it doesn’t know what or why so it just goes into limp mode

your channel it's amazing bro congratulations greetings from spain a lot of gasss

It's too bad that Golf R kept lighting up like a Christmas tree. But an excellent job of driving as always Misha. I can only dream of getting my GTI on the Ring some day and having Misha fly by me at 1000 mph. haha

Don't worry Misha, I'm watching the temp gauge for you. You just keep on driving haha

My 2 cent’s on the issue. 1 possible cause is that the wastegate gets somewhat stuck and causes an error, which brings a limp home mode. And restart remedies it at first but after a long time, even that does not work. I had the same issue on a 2015 Leon Cupra. Also the second possibility is coolant temp, the vw coolant gauge usually lies a bit, I have had cases on my current Cupra, when it shows coolant exactly as 90C but in reality is around 105C in live data. That also explains the sudden movement and changes of the temperature needle. Basically it has to be too hot for a certain time period to register at the gauge.

Oooo another ones cant wait to finish :P

I know Misha really enjoyed this drive I remember his gti he tried to build

Full tank and that acceleration.. wow 😳 insane

Misha have you tried any of the Insta 360 products? I hated all the issues I had with various GoPros over the years so I got an Insta 360 One RS which I’ve been happy with. It’s a modular action cam so you can swap the lenses and whole camera around depending on what you need. It also seems to do better in the heat compared to the GoPros.

Very nice editing.

Maybe is overboost protection. It enters in safe mode when the ECU realizes that the boost went over the programed and the EGT is to high.
