Been around these for 15yrs mate 1st time ive seen it phrased like that, having said that it was on VCDS, 90% of my time was spent on 1551,5051 and 52 now at home i use VCDS (Vagcom beta) of course.
Found it quite amusing

Does that indicate that the rev-limiter has been removed, likely with a chip, or reflash (on later models) and then the engine has been inadvertently revved over it's factory max rev point?

I love the wording of the fault code :D nice to see some engineers have a sense of humour!
