Map on a 1.4

[Adam R]

i am familiar with Honda maps, but not seat / VW maps.
in a honda if above idle rpm and you lift off the loud pedal compleatly the map instantly cuts fuel input to the engine and does not start injecting fuel untill just above idle speed.

So if revving to 6.5k and lift off the accelerator (sp) no fuel is injected untill it reaches about 1k.

does the seat maps do the same? and if not would it be possible to get my map changed so it did this ?

yes it soes the same and most cars do it

just seems like the engine drops in revs alot slower than other cars i have driven, especially when down shifting through the gears approaching a corner, it just does not seem to give enough engine breaking

I much prefer to use brakes to slow me down. Brake pads/disks are cheaper than new clutch/ strain on engine IMO.

Engine braking is a better method of braking than pure brakes.
