Gigabit Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 How do I get the eco rating thing to show up? The feature that rates your driving? MPG up to almost 50 which is good and still climbing. The Adaptive Cruise Control is just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Assume you are referring to the system which displayed a full set of petals etc if it thought you were driving economically? As far as I'm aware the Mk 8 doesn't have this, only the Eco button which (in my car at least) makes the throttle very unresponsive. If you're already getting 50-ish from a car which is still running-in, I'd say you don't really need systems or buttons to tell you if you are driving economically anyway!😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not anywhere to be found on mine! Think I might have an issue with the USB ports though. When the car turns on, even if no device is plugged in, the Sync 3 system says "USB error".

Given the known coolant issues I'd be inclined to get that checked out for peace of mind. My dealer does a complimentary check at 1500 miles which I had last month and interestingly the service advisor mentioned that they particularly check all fluid levels at that point.

Gigabit Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I will try without the Eco button pressed to see if this is causing my delayed USB power issue. It just seems too regular to me to be a fault somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bloodaxe Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 My manual (hard copy that came with the car) says the same as @Gigabit's, but like @jakephillips05 both my usb ports are live as soon as I unlock the car and will play music from a stick or charge a phone without the engine running or even switching on the ignition.

Gigabit Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Don’t get me wrong, in my car the USBs work without the engine and ignition on as well. I was simply saying the manual doesn’t say it should work so I can’t complain if it doesn’t. As I said, without the Eco button the ports always work and with the Eco button they don’t work for a few minutes and then they power on. They’ll then work without the ignition on as above. Usually when the car is left overnight the behaviour repeats. They work straight away if you leave the car a few hours, for example. It makes sense it is a power-saving feature and it may also be because it detects the battery running down. Doesnt seem untoward to me and in fact seems quite sensible.

Gigabit Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 How do you all find the wipers? Mine seem to smear quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigabit Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Can absolutely confirm on my Titanium X Eco Mode disables the USB ports for a few minutes after a cold start in the morning. Disabling the feature stops this happening, so it must be a power saving feature. But I am curious nobody else experiences it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I Clean our screens with glass cleaner and give the Wiper Blades a wipe over regularly. No issues here if both are cleaned. Never noticed the usb ports powering off with eco mode on to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigabit Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I've asked my dealer to look into the USB issue. As I say it is bizarre if nobody else gets it and I only get it on Eco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is after leaving the car say over night, it takes a minute or two for the USB ports to power on, if Eco mode is turned on from the night before. No Eco mode, no issue.
