Hi Folks,

 

I drove a 22 plate Octavia SEL DSG recently and while using ACC it would initiate coasting automatically. Can I enable this on my mine, 2020 SEL FE DSG? It will only coast when ACC is not being used.

 

My other question is about ACC in the same car you can active the ACC at any speed I tried it at 8mph. In mine the minimum speed is 20mph. How can I change this?

 

TIA

I wonder if this a software issue. I note from other threads (matrix lights) that your car is going in to the dealer next Wednesday. Probably worth pressing them to look at updates for all components in the car. The SEL FEs had a shed load of issues early on, all fixed in mine now, so hopefully they can sort yours.

@SteveTheElderYes it seems so. I assumed this might be dealt with by coding via VCDS or ODB11. The dealers just about know what fuel goes into the car. It is very hit and miss but I will try.

Just revisiting this thread.

Randomly the other day, I put the car in ECO mode and the coasting feature was working while using ACC while commuting to work. First time ever! Has not done it since then, so clearly has the feature.

Is there something else I need to look at?

Was just about to reply that this is a feature of the ECO mode to allow the car to coast to conserve fuel.

yes but is has never worked until randomly to yesterday since 2022. Today nothing!

I could do it without ACC being active by taking my foot of the accelerator but never automatically with ACC on.

Any suggestions?

Nothing definitive. I’ve only had my 4.5 RS a few months. I’d guess the coasting in ACC is probably subject to a fancy algorithm though so it may not do it in all circumstances a bit like auto stop / start.

I mostly just use ECO on a longer motorway drive which I normally try and avoid. Otherwise I’m using other modes.

UK / New Zealand roughly half a world apart.

2022 vs a 2025 one, you get differences.
