Eco button on 1,2 Tdi

[MacFever]

Is it possible to program the car NOT to start in Eco mode because everytime I start the car I have to push the button to get the 61 hp program

Thanx a lot for the help

Sorry Eric,

 

this is a feature not a bug, so it is deeply implemented in the transmission software due to fullfill the former German regulations about 3L-cars.

Perhaps this Multifunction steering wheel with tiptronic could help a little bit.

 

Have fun

Most times I use eco-modus, its ok.

 

doors: No, sir.

[bret]

momento, por favor!

 

you mean the 10km/h and the doors lock automatically?

 

yes, it is possible. let me go find the thread....

 

this one (sorry, it's in German)

 

gibt es die funktion: automatisches abschließen des auto sobald z.b. man ca 15 km/h fährt?

I suppose my dealer should be able to do this

Thanks

I really hate constantly pushing the eco button though ...

[streckbieger]

May I kindly ask why you buy an eco car if you don´t want to use the eco functionallity?

 

Or is it just an issue for the first few kilometers to prevent the cold motor from stopping?

[MacFever]

Because even in non eco mode this is the most fuel economic car on the market AND I want to drive an automatic (the other A2's are not automatics)

It's not possible to turn off the eco mode at all? I'm looking around for an A2 3L and I'm curious about it. At the moment I drive a Lupo 3L and when I turn off the eco mode it stays off until I activate it again (even when I start the car).

[aluholz]

The A2 3L has the same Ecomatic powertrain like the Lupo 3L. You can turn off the ECO-Mode by trigger the button or using the Tiptronic-Mode.

 

In this thread we have discussed about a possibility not to start the car in the ECO-Mode and there is no (like the Lupo).

Could this be different depending on the country? If I turned off the eco mode before turning off the engine and I would start the engine again it would be in the 61 HP mode and not in eco mode.

You can't change it! It has to be so! It's a feature;)

It's a feature;)

I guess it must be a special feature on mine then

Hi,

 

I am Owner of an Lupo 3L (Model 99) AND of a A2 3L.

 

They are somewhat different: If you push the ECO-Button of the Lupo OFF and restart the engine after that, you will still rest in the "ECO-OFF" mode!

 

With the A2 3L , it is different: You' ll start ever and ever again in ECO-ON .

 

But - why the hell is it too difficult for you just to push the ECO-Button OFF when starting the engine? Are you not able to move your finger just one time per drive towards the button ? Do find this really too exausting??? or are you just kidding with us ???

I've asked around at the 3L club and it seems that it depends on the building year. Earlier models have the old software which allows you to turn off the eco mode like you describe above. The later models are like the A2.
