ECT in relation to TowCar Cooling
Just received my Kenlowe transmission oil cooler.They enclosed a good guide to tow car cooling,and I though the following is worth requoting to you ..
"Sport and Economy Gearboxes"
Selectable sport/economy "switchable" automatic gearboxes provide scope for too high a gear to be used during climbing any gradient if left in "economy" mode.We recommend that you select sport mode (ECT) when towing - if economy is used it should only be on completely level terrain and never into a head wind !Selecting sport mode ensures that the transmission changes down more quickly,and holds on to it,s lower gear longer,keeping the engine on top of the peak of the torque curve when travelling under load.This is particularly important when travelling up any incline however slight.Economy mode (overdrive) involves predominantly travelling in overdrive top which is a high gear ideal for "solo" moterway cruising - IT IS TOTALLY UNSUITED WHEN CARAVAN TOWING ESPECIALLY ON HILLS !"
Just thought you might like to know this !
