Jay762 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Really useful that - I have yet to mess with VDC still playing with the torque and SI dial - I do find the drive ability in Intelligent mode not to be a smooth as in sport mode particularly around urban areas which is contrary to what they say, I might need some investigating - possibly getting the injectors cleaned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 i was playing around with it as my MPG seemed stuck on 21.9mpg, set it up as S# DCCD on Auto - ( click back the swith in Auto mode) and VDC to Off the car felt so much more alive everything was more repsonsive, Breaks felt Firmer, throttle was instant and the steering lighter. was a totaly differnet car. Bit annoyed that when you switch off it all reverts back to i drive, Auto DCCD and VCD on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 going to try it - back in a bit.... :) also mine drops from S# to Sport when the ignition is cycled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yep mine goes from S# to S when switched off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Test complete - yes it does change it into a more responsive drive all round as you don't feel the car is fighting with itself. Also on mine the VDC stayed off when the ignition was cycled, I have just had to provide reassurance that there is indeed some tread left on the tyres and all the settings are restored :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
