Seems to be well researched but the style of writing was dull. Sometimes, some articles are like that. In neutral, the injectors continue to fire to keep the engine running. Leaving the car in gear whilst coasting means the motion of the car keeps the engine turning, and the injectors will stop activating, as to do so would allow unburned fuel to reach and poison the catalytic converters whilst there is no need for combustion to keep the engine running.
Hi Daniel, In neutral the injectors do inject fuel in the combustion chamber, but the fuel-injected is to just keep the engine running that is it.
Talking about the leaving the car in Drive mode will not harm the engine at all. Neither there will be excessive unburnt fuel reaching the catalytic converter. More on the costing, going downhill will keep the engine running. In fact, the engine and the transmission both in sync will help to keep the car under control without using the brakes engine braking.
Sure the catalytic convert gets poisoned with unburnt fuel but the process is really slow and will take years to rupture the catcan. During idling my car consumes some fuel for 1. If engine is kept in gear then it ll not consume any fuel. Wheel will rotate the engine. In this case car will stop earlier then in neutral. For economic driving, it is irrelevant are you wasting fuel or potential energy, unless you are about to stop at the bottom.
Shifting neutral is most likely to produce best fuel economy, but engineers do not design the cars to be operated this way; engaging the gearbox after reaching the hill bottom can really confuse the car to shift in weird gears, burning clutches. I try to drive downhill on a power level where the speed accelerates, but very modestly.
The other car I have will automagically switch to motor braking after a couple of seconds if I release the accelerator pedal, reducing speed. Are you sure that it is the flywheel? Because if it the flywheel something really fishy could be wrong with your vehicle. Happy to help. The same happened to mine n we changed it but now the car jerks each time the gears change and its really hard to drive that way.. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Welcome Welcome to Miles Continental. This automatic transmission is capable of achieving quick shifts between gears that provide great fuel economy and a sporty drive. If you want to take a little more control over your transmission, however, we can show you how to drive with the VW DSG transmission. The first option available with the VW dual-clutch gearbox found in models like the Jetta, Golf and Passat, is to simply switch to Sport mode. While in drive, simply pull the shift lever back once to move into Sport mode.
This will allow for greater performance. Drivers can also drive in Tiptronic mode, which will allow you to control the gear shifts. Just tip the shift lever to the right to enter tiptronic mode. Simply tip the shift lever forward to shift up and tip it back to shift down. You can also shift using the paddle levers on the steering wheel, shifting down with the left paddle and up with the right paddle.
The current gear should be displayed in the instrument cluster.
