Title: Soundaktor and Eco mode
Post by: Dunc245 on 29 June 2018, 06:31

Hi,

Is the soundaktor switched off completely when in Eco mode? Also, am I right in thinking it can only be turned off permanently via VCDS or OBDEleven? I tried a search but I'm unclear.

THanks.

Not sure about Eco mode but yes it can only be turned off via coding.

I have OBDEleven in West Sussex if you need...

For the 7.5 it certainly is on in eco, but toned down. If you put your foot down enough it still 'activates' for want of a better word

Is it easy to turn off using OBDEleven. I might need to find someone local to do that for me as really not keen on its sounds.

Thanks folks for the info.

And wantmiygti - many thanks, I may take you up on that.

1400 miles in now, and other than the sound effects, it just keeps getting better.  :smiley:
