Hi there, Thanks for your reply, it did work for the first few days from new and I have done long runs 100 miles plus and still it does not work. Please understand I am aware that AC would demand the engine running but not just level 1 of the the fan which has 8 levels 1 being the lowest, What I'm asking is anyone here running a similar car to mine and does their ECO stop work when the AC is off but the fan in on level 1? Many thanks for your reply, Tim.

Hi there, Many thanks for your replies, most of my conversations have been with Citroen direct who again seem to be stating that it is how the system works and that if I forget AC which I know is a big drain on the battery and only have the fan on the lowest level then the ECO light flashes but the engine does not stop. If I have everything off and then it does stop but if I turn the fan on then the engine restarts, that to me is madness and probably means I can only use ECO mode it the temperature range of 10 to 16 degrees the only times when I can have the window open. I was also told that with the AC and Fan off the air vents should work but they don't either so to me the ECO system on my car seems worthless, its not going to cost me anything it is only 18 days old, but I might get rid of it. Again many thanks for your help, Tim.

Hi there, I have a 7 day old C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi VTR+ when I collected the car the ECO system worked fine. However 3 days later it stopped working so I booked it in to the Bradford Citroen dealer and was told that the ECO system would not run whilst using any repeat any of the heating or cooling settings this meant that everything including the fan had to be off for the ECO system to work now what use is that I ask. I have spoken to another owner who says his works using everything so I've asked Citroen direct who so far have been evasive passing me on to Customer Service another day wasted without answering my simple question should it work with the heating cooling systems running I can understand that the A/C would drain the battery so does the DAB radio if that was the case then the ECO would start the engine or cease the heating cooling items that are draining the battery. So does anyone on the forum use the ECO system and does it work when the heating or cooling fan is running? Many thanks, Tim.
