I'm convinced the car still hangs in the redline on full kickdown. Surely the upchange should occur as soon as the redline is hit? When I bought the car I had to back off on the accelerator to get the upchange as she sat in the red until I reduced the revs. The fuel pump relay that was fitted had the part numbers erased. I figured it was probably a 16v relay hence the high revving. Now Im not convinced my bargain ebay buy is quite right! Stu

If you are stood looking at the battery from the front of the car the fuel pump relay is situated to the left and back of the battery. Its a grey/black rectangular box a bit bigger than a pack of 20 cigarettes that sits upright and is fixed in from the bottom. The part number should be printed across the top. Stu EDIT - I think the part numbers for an auto are different from a manual and its the auto I need thanks. Edited by sportline_stu, Sun Oct 11, 2009 4:21 pm.

The only way I know for sure is to ring the dealer, give them your VIN and see what they prescribe as a replacement. To be honest I am never 100% sure of dealers anyway, but its safer than a similar car.

Will look tomorrow in daylight and get back to you.

Member Posts: 518 Group: Members Member #1,732 Joined: September 26, 2007	Stu - checked both cars. Both are 2.6 autos and have the same part # 003 545 2405, so looks like you've got the right one. Steve

On the 16 valve manual they hit the rev limiter at 7200rpm, which is 200rpm into the 7000rpm red line. It's perfectly normal. If you somehow manage to go past the end of the red line is when you want to start worrying about potential engine damage.

Do you find the car hangs in the red for a bit on full throttle before it changes gear, or do your cars up-change as soon as the redline is hit? I'm afraid I've never noticed; the neb of my flat cap prevents me from seeing that part of the rev counter. I do seem to remember, before my hearing went, they both sang very nicely above 4,000 rpm. Anything above 5,500 rpm sets my hearing aid to whistling, so that's how I know it's time to slip it up a gear. Luckily the 2.6 has a very smooth engine, or my false teeth would start rattling, which the young female staff at the home find very amusing - can't think why? Sorry - got to go, need to take my tablets and if I don't get to the loo, I'll be up in the middle of the night (again). Happy to be of help. Steve
