I have a Hybrid Formentor VZ2 and am struggling to understand why the tickover gets and stays unnecessarily high when I switch to Hybrid mode or when I‘ve run out of electric charge and it switches to hybrid mode.
I’m talking of a tickover speed of over 1000 rpm sometimes between 1400 & 1800 rpm, when idle and even when coasting.
This can’t be right even though the dealership suggested they found no faults and this was normal behaviour for a hybrid to regenerate but I kind of think it’s overkill given the limited charge regenerating provides if that is the case, I.e. likely costing me more in unnecessary fuel burn to get me a little elec power.
Should I just trust it to get the right mix even though my instinct is it’s too high and surely can’t be economical not to mention the stress of the unnecessary noise. or is there some kind of setting in the regeneration settings that can alleviate this, I hve switched from automatic regeneration to low, not sure it’s made a difference?
Any advice appreciated.
thanks
