EA288 2.0 TDI 184PS Development thread..

McMaddy I was about to reply something similar but Rick was comparing the Normal to Sport and apart from the steering / sound I don't actually feel much difference in throttle response.

I certainly do comparing Eco to Sport but not Normal to Sport!

You should definitely be able to feel a difference in throttle response from normal to sport.

P3asa might have the same issue I seem to have (and a number of others here report to have) - when the car won't respond as if in Sport until you change of of sport and then back into it (but all the other sport things are engaged, like soundaktor, steering weighting etc). I will ask Pulman to take a look at it when my car is in for it's first service in 11 days time.

Maybe I'm just expecting too much.
There is a definite change from Anything to Eco.
But I can't say there is a definite change from General to Sport, at a push possibly slightly more responsive but I don't know if that is psychological as the growl comes on (I have sport and sound) and its a fair growl.

Monkeyhanger I've read the issues with the mode defaulting to general and you have to cycle back to general then back to sport again. So I've been doing that every time I get in the car just in case.  Was it not yourself that noticed this "phenomenon" but had been driving about with it on Sport when in fact it was stuck on normal? That to me itself suggests its not glaringly obvious.

I'll have a further play with it as I've generally put it into one mode for a journey and left it there.

Today's been really eventful, this morning I introduced "trevor" to monkeyhanger and from what I've heard they're getting on like a house on fire

This afternoon I took our Skoda and "Trevor" back to the dyno, and even in these temps


"Trevor" was full of surprises

No doubt I'll be introducing "Trevor" to you all in a few weeks time, but if anyone would like to know about him, then drop me a pm

Calling it "amy" might've sounded a bit less gay.

I know you've said PM for more information but should it be obvious what "Trevor" is meant to do?

Well this thread is about tuning boxes and their development so I'd take a well educated guess that Trevor is a piece of deep fried chicken that was cooked on the dyno yesterday

It's as obvious as 2 plus 2 making 4

Going to be interesting to see how well this tank of fuel does!

My best tank so far is 46mpg calculated via fuelly, currently the computer says 55mpg. If its reading 10% optimistic that will still be 49.5mpg which will be an improvement with the box fitted!
