Let me just throw a wild card in here.
The whole "variable red line" thing is an interesting piece of dashboard bling but REALLY (REALLY?) does it mean anything?
Based on my observation of it's starting (~4000RPM) and end points (~5200RPM) versus the actual engine water and oil temps (water not fully hot and oil temp does not register so <60C) there is NO WAY I would rev the engine to either the starting or ending point until the engine was properly warm - oil temp in the high 70's in winter or into the 80s in the warmer months.
The point I'm making is "what's the point?" For track use maybe it has some value but for a diesel car that you want to have a long life it is pointless... dashboard bling.
If folks want to make it work for the sake of it working then I can understand that but personally I'd not invest a lot of time in it.. there are probably other fish to fry that would yield a more nutritious meal.
