Quick question :)

Does anyone drive with the ECT button for the transmission constantly on?

If so does it make a difference on performance/mpg??

Thanks

I think it alters the RPM at which the auto box changes gear.

I've never pressed mine and I've had the Surf for 4 years.

I use it for over taking, keeps the engine in higher revs.
I wouldn't recommend having it on all the time unless you drive like a nutter & like filling up every day.

I sometimes use it at the lights for a quick getaway, drop it into second, ECT on & floor it, then into D once you've left everything behind.

And sod all else.

Don't you notice the difference in power?

Do you often race old ladies on pedal bicycles at the "traffic lights grand prix" in your Surf? ;-)

You may mock but I've beat 2 reliant robins in the past week.

nope, just changes gear higher up the rev range or kicks down sooner. Tbh it'd have to be a lot of power for me to notice.
