ECO mode was only designed to
ECO mode was only designed to be used on the highway for better gas mileage. It causes problems in releasing the clutches in the transmission when downshifting, when slowing down. Don't do it! Save the ECO mode for the highway only and you'll be fine. Can't believe the manual doesn't explain this. By the way, I'm running the 2014 2,0T with a chipyourcar (chip) and I'm running about 300hp with a AEM cold air intake. It's a dream to drive!
