DQ381 coasting

[Nick_H]

My 2015 280 has coasting in eco mode or ( I think ) as a selection in the individual settings. I've used it a couple of times over the years .... I once used it over a full tank of fuel on the standard 3 mile commute and noticed no appreciable gain in MPG just as a test ... But then I didn't opt for this engine to worry about fuel consumption plus I only do about 7k a year on average.

 

I think if used carefully on long runs you may be able to eek out a few more MPG I did try that and had over 40mpg interesting but not for me.

Did you turn it off with VCDS/OBD11?

I've just seen this thread & after a few months trying to get used to the DSG I think I'll do the same. I feel like I'm constantly flicking the paddle to put back the gear or braking unnecessarily when I'm accelerating above the speed limit or towards the car in front.
