Just out of interest Psi, have you come out of a petrol? As has been said, diesels (especially something like your's), will generally want to pull a higher gear (perhaps two higher), than it's petrol counterpart in a given situation.

(Not trying to teach you to suck eggs by the way - it may well be worth getting the torque softened on lighter throttle settings).

Strange as there are no separate maps for E or S on the EDC17 CP10 or CP46 platforms. I am right in thinking in E it pulls away in 2nd???

Pretty much, yes. I think the only 2 changes are start in 2nd, as you said, and change up at lower revs.

OOI - is there anything related in the map to the lower revs change in normal driving mode? I would expect something like:

If full throttle then rev change = 4500 else 3750

Also, is there a switch in the map for dropdown behaviour?

Thanks

Dave

Good afternoon,

Its more scaling the throttle rather than anything else. We do have some control over the kick down and adjust with our power maps as after 3000rpm power and torque drops off anyway so we find changing earlier is better due to revs being back in the power band. Also when we tune the vehicles the vehicle does not kick down so eagerly and will hold the gear as it will keep within the power band.

Regards
