You really need to have your car scanned for fault codes.

yeah i think ill have to do that, but maybe someone has had this problem. its just strange that it goes away when i restart

Your car has gone into limp mode that's why you can't rev it over 3000rpm, also why it's goes away after you restart it. When an engine fault is detected by the ECU, it's goes into limp mode to protect the engine. After you restart it it's fine until, the ecu detects the fault, just get it scanned by Vagcom or take it to the dealer.
