Hey Woodsy!

Hey What?

Why does my vehicle Rev-Hang when I shift gears?

Well, boys and girls, Rev-Hang is our friend! It's there to ensure your vehicle's hydrocarbon emissions don't flare when you jump off the throttle to make a shift. Watch the video below and my friend Humphrey the Nerdle will explain why you should want your car to rev-hang severely.

It's a sad thing that it appears VW has drifted far, far away from Fahrvergnügen.

Others somehow still seem to be able to do it better.
