strongasanoxx 0 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 So this may be a dumb question but ive looked around and Im trying to find out what the e and s knob in my golf will do. i have switched between the two and I have not seen a noticable difference. I assume its economy mode and sport mode. If anybody could help please do. Also remember im a newbie to vw, so go easy. Thanks Chad Link to post Share on other sites
RsvRob 6 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 On a 95 mk3 golf. I wouldn't expect any such luxury as economy or sport mode. Pic of the switch your referring too?? Sent from Dagobah Link to post Share on other sites
strongasanoxx 0 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 ill snap a pic when i get back to my house. but it is a 93 golf vr6 and right below the auto shift selector there is a turn style knob with e on one side and s on the other. the seller of the car told me it was for sport mode. and in the original car manual it has it pictured but i dont read german so that makes it tough.. lol Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) The automatic transmission in the vr6 uses what vw call a 'fuzzy' transmission-it learns the drivers habits and tries to anticipate what your going to do next via a transmission control module and some other sensors. Think it is known as an 01M transmission.I believe the sport mode will hold onto a gear longer and shift quicker than when if it was in economy mode. This is what a can tell from a quick browse through google. For more info look for a website called Ross tech, they have a lot of info on the electronic systems in our generation of golf.Welcome to the forum and I hope it's of some help!EDIT from the Ross tech wiki site;Before the 01M transmission, VW produced the 096 four-speed for Mk3 Golf/Jetta cars from 1992-1994. These cars will have a SPORT/ECONOMY switch near the shifter or on the dashboard to alter the shift points. Some of the 096 parts were held over for the 01M transmission, such as oil filter, oil pan, filler tube, gaskets, speedometer gears, skid plate, etc. These transmissions have different torque converters and many other internal parts that are not interchangeable.
