ECO MODE (ACT - Active Cylinder Technology) - MK8 1.5 (110kW) - CAR VIBRATION

[tomocernec]

Hi,
does any one notice (feeling) when GOLF (MK8 1,5 PETROL) goes to ECO MODE (ACT/2-cylinder mode) speed cca 50km/h - 70 km/h the CAR VIBRATES (very uncomfortable) at higher speeds the vibrations are less noticeable. On servis they told me this is normal at the moment (maybe) in the future they will solve this issue with new softwere. Does anyone expirienc the same issue/problem, i think this is not normal.
Thanks BR T

I have the 150ps version and notice 0 vibration at 2 cylinder mode. Honestly surprised at how refined it is, I can't tell when it swaps and mode it runs it!

On our 1.5 DSG eTSI 150ps/110kw there is absolutely no vibration when it’s in ACT/2-cylinder mode - you only know it’s in that mode because the eco symbol appears on the virtual instrument display. Also, the change from 4 to 2 cylinders is imperceptible, as is the transition from engine on to coasting.

Perhaps you should ask your dealer to let you drive another car so you can make a comparison with yours?

I have the 150 etsi and have never noticed anything when 2 or 4 cylinder mode is enabled except eco in instrument cluster.

You have DSG Gearbox (??), if you have it the vibrations are less noticeable (info from car dealer )

manual gearbox here , do not notice the change apart from dashboard info,

Manual here too. I know its on 2 cylinder mode only by the eco indication on the dash. It is remarkably refined. Show your dealer these posts
