TDI, EO(ff)C and SG2 for fun and profit

The SGII supports the following options, so I think the algorithm changes based on the fuel :

GAS, DIESELa, DIESELb, HYBRID and LPG

PS - This is tangential to what the thread is really about, but I am posting it for the lurkers.

CarloSW2

SPOILER ALERT - For TDI the answer is Diesel A.

I admit that was before I had my kill switch, so MAYBE it won't turn off if I don't turn the key, but the consumption will still be random.

I checked today: In 'Hybrid' mode the SGII doesn't turn off after 15-20 seconds (that's the longest time I had the engine off at lights) when I use the engine kill button.

I didn't check whether the SGII registers distance while EOC.

As expected, the consumption was way high: While idling it showed 2 lph instead of the 0.5 lph I see in 'Diesela' mode. Maybe this can be calibrated, say by reducing engine displacement (0.4 liter instead of 1.6)? Also, LOD was blank.

Thanks for the info. Diesel A is the engine type and not the mode according to the test in the SG2 manual. The idle consumption is interesting, mine says 0.2 GPH which if the calibration is correct should be Imperial by now although I suspect this is skewed by having the engine size lower, although not as low as that. Mine is 1.4 instead of 1.9.

2 Questions - I may have asked these before :

- Cut off, how to ?
- If I use the key all the time will I wear the lock out ?
