Hey guys my 2017 vw sportwagen 6at has a vibration that im trying to figure out. When in park the engine only revs to 3800rpm and while there it has a vibration that will shake the whole car. I didnt notice it until today and it was after a sprited drive with some redline shifts. So what do you think? Engine mount? Engine internals? Thanks for any info.

If it only does it in park its probably a rev limiter and normal, ask the dealer.
I think the rev limiter shakes the car so you wake up and take your foot off the gas.
If the rev limiter kinda bounced i coukd definitely believe that it was just the limiter causing the vibration but its smooth as butter and i dont recall it doing it before. Hope im wrong though.
I own a 2013 VW GTI and my wife owns a 2015 Audi A4, both with manual transmissions. While sitting still, both cars wont rev over 4K RPM's.
It's normal and not something you wanna play around with.

This is so you don't spin the engine with no load on it and stress the rotating assembly. It probably cuts ignition or retards the timing heavily causing it to miss on a cylinder every so often.
It's an anti idiot mechanism.

How about don't rev it wild in park?

What reason would you want to rev to 3800 in park?
There's a torque converter spinning (assuming conventional at), and a rev limiter.
It's preventing silly, unnecessary behaviors from damaging something.

The dealer will either be clueless or say the same things that have been here. Most (if not all) double clutch transmissions limit revs in park and neutral.

The engine vibrates because fuel is being cut and reapplied at 3800 RPM to keep it there and warn you at same time.
Everybody here is telling you pretty much the same thing. Every computerized car with a computer I've owned or been in has limited the revs when in park.
Your best bet is a dealer. Maybe there is a TSB for your issue that we don't know about.

Meant to say every computerized car with an automatic transmission.
