discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 11m 17d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 29/10/10 10:41 AM Share Posted 29/10/10 10:41 AM Its much like heel/toe'ing on downshifts in a real mans gearbox (Manual). And who doesn't do that everytime they brake? I know I do, maintains control of the vehicle, and you are always in an effective gear should a situation arise. Also helps with economy, my F6 runs 0.0L/100km if it is engine braking above 1500rpm. Anyone with an auto know if the ZF does the same thing?I used to see 0.2L/100 downhill in the BFII in 5th gear (6th wasn't as good), until I got a tune and injector change (plus other mods). Now it reads 2.xL/100, keep forgetting to ask about it at the tuner though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the auto's down shifting as it ensures your in the right gear when you come out of a corner and accelerate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with an auto know if the ZF does the same thing?my G6Et used to do the 0.0 thing when coasting, but with the tune file it it does not do it any more, flash to std and it does do the 0.0, I dunno what the tuners have done but they reckon nothing!

But keep in mind I know next to nothing! Don't you love pointless posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
