Does using Coasting Function clog the EGR?

no matter what they say, branded fuel is better than supermarket fuel (the latter I've not used for 15-20 years now)

“The RAC and the AA both agree that petrol and diesel fuel quality is governed by the same European standard, wherever it’s sold. So Lord knows where these people get their ideas from. Maybe these are the folk who firmly believe the Royal Family are shape-shifting lizards or that Jay-Z is a time-travelling vampire.”

I have no experience of knowing supermarket diesel is poorer quality but I do have experience of supermarket petrol being lower quality. I had a 2000 MY Volvo V70 (owned for 24 years) that would "pink" on supermarket fuel but run perfectly on branded fuel, I tried various sources and they would always do it except TESCO 4 star when they did it, so have always steered clear of it. Meeting a base standard may be true on paper but who is testing it on delivery.

Fully agree. The standards are the minimum. Having a snorkel allows me to hear the motor and with cheap diesel I can hear sputters and “coughing” of the motor. Using Shell or BP and it purrs like a kitten. I use VPower Diesel from shell every few tanks of if I can, or if I am in a country with lower quality diesel I bring additives with me like STP. The sputtering vanishes with the additive.

I normally use Esso regular fuel. Biggest difference I have noticed in the last few months is the switch from driving in D to S mode. I used the coasting feature a lot and the van did a regen fairly regularly. Now I only drive in S mode without coasting, the regens are less frequent and my mpg has increased by about 8%. I still take my foot off the gas going down hill but overall the S mode just feels better for the engine and certainly more responsive when driving around town. This is with a 2020 T6 Beach 150.

Coast mode can also be disabled by turning off the stop/start function. FYI
