I have heard the Eco Mode impacts the fuel burning and leaves more carbon, etc. Can anyone verify this. Nothing is ever mentioned about what long term impact it has on the engine (from a build up point of view). I am not using it until I hear otherwise (that it is safe).
No sense fouling the engine to save a few miles per gallon.

Can’t imagine it causing carbon build up. I don‘t use it. Here is some reading.

USING THE ECO MODE 1330 Engine

Has anyone information on the use of the ECO Mode for the 1330 Engine Not much information in the owners book and tried a search on this site I am not sure when it should be used and if the cruise control can still be used when in ECO Mode Any information would be helpful

You should not believe everything that you hear.
In fact, these days, you should not believe most of it.

This is one big load of BS.

There is no vehicle made where an "ECO" mode modifies the fuel mapping.
If it did, it wouldn't pass EPA certification.

We have a 2022 RTL which defaults to Eco mode and our experience has been great. I can't speak to long-term carbon build-up but, to me, it doesn't make sense that a manufacturer would engineer a vehicle for which the default settings would be harmful. I've actually yet to ride in any mode other than Eco and we're averaging 32.2mpg over the first 3,000 miles with impressive performance.

Thanks for the additional reading. I will look into it. A mechanic that I like made a couple of references in his vlogs but he has over 2,000 vlogs so finding it again it hard. Plus, I had written to him twice with no answer. ("thesmoaksvlogs" on YouTube)

The "I have heard" fairy !!!

This is simply a follow up to a couple of times a well know can-am ambassador and mechanic at he largest volume dealer in the U.S.I wanted clarification and I asked the source but did not hear back. I thought it worth mentioning here for further discussion.

Neither of those things really proves that he knows anything.
Just another "self appointed" expert in my opinion.
I've seen quite a few quotes from him that make me wonder if ANYTHING he says is really true.

 

[Gerald Mac]

I have looked at a couple of his videos.

Have not been able to endure one to the bitter end.

Waffles on about all sort of unrelated off topic stuff, bit like the Martin Bloke.

Thinking - Crikey mate get on with it. Stick to the subject, biff out all the unrelated bs. Bout as interesting to me as watching paint dry. Sheesh!

If you can endure it I guess somewhere in there is some good info, well good on you for hanging in there, me I move on.

I watch blokes doing stuff im interested in who just crack on with it and no added bs.

Not many self appointed experts get invites to the factory or get to evaluate beta models a year before they come out. One of the more interesting comments was precluding the eco modes usage during the break in period. Just thought it was worth a discussion on the technical merits (pro and con) and not so much an opportunity to impune someones character. I am not seeing a lot of value in this forum, "super moderator".

Really know the least and are just throwing up a smoke screen.

And exactly how do you KNOW that all the things he says are really TRUE ?
I can claim to have met the Pope too.

The simple fact is: ECO mode does NOT cause carbon buildup.
It just does NOT.
Anyone who claims that has just blown their cover.

Then......the forum and it's discussions are here for the taking.
Take it or leave it but it isn't going away.

You are continuing to prove my point. ad hominem attacks only shut down debate. mission accomplished. really sad, I was hoping to hear ideas on the topic itself.

 

[Tourer]

Have spent some time researching if Eco mode has any adverse effects. Have not read any authoritative information that substantiates the theory of excessive carbon buildup.

I think with the level of fuel management technology incorporated into modern engines and the sophistication of gasoline, carbon buildup has been pretty much eradicated.

Fixed it for ya

From others who accept what I am saying without question.
A fact is a fact. Because I heard......

Fact checking........ Pifft not required . I have heard from the guru.

You HEARD a definitive "idea" about how the feature works......and doesn't work......

But it is YOU who refuse to accept anything that doesn't 100% agree with your original pronouncement.
YOU are not listening and instead are just attacking the messenger.

Two strikes now. One more personal insult and you are gone.
