The Y17DT ECO4 is exactly the same as the Y17DT but with some areodynamic bits stuck on (spoiler and underbody panels), low ratio gears, and fuel efficient tires in those sizes.

The official marketing name for "Y17DT" is:

VAUXHALL ASTRA LS DTI

The official marketing name for "Y17DT ECO4" is:

VAUXHALL ASTRA LS ECO DTI

"LS" is the trim level - the "ECO" is just a slight variant to the trim level with the changes I mentioned above. If you look at the specs in the handbook, LS DTI and LS ECO4 DTI has the exactly the same information throughout, the only difference is the tire pressures. Even the kerb weight shown in the manual is the exact same for both models. As you can see, all different trim levels/engines has different weights.
