Congrats Brocky
Eco mode is for laboratory use when WLTP testing only.
Unless you’ve slightly misjudged your “miles to empty” and found your local fuel station has closed early on a Sunday evening
DSG is weird. Never mind having about 80 modes for DCC, the DSG could do with a few more modes for real world driving. Best advice I was given on here was to cruise around in D then snick the lever (yes, a lever! Remember those? Now we just have nuggets) backwards into S to pull out of junctions or busy roundabouts then snick it back to D again once moving.
Using more throttle will hold the revs a bit better some days but other days the ‘box chooses to ignore your demands unless you physically flick something plastic.
It becomes second nature after a while.
