    W204 tuning

    Am seriously considering getting my 2013 C220 cdi tuned along with EGR delete. Most quote an increase up to 205 bhp, I guess this is about where the C250 cdi is, and as it's the same engine I'm assuming this will be well within its limits (including engine, brakes etc). Am I correct do you...

    Stop/Start battery question.

    So I've got my new iCarsoft plugged in, and as my stop/start eco has never gone green, I thought I'd check it out. (I am fully aware however, that if I do get it working I will probably be cursing it, but I'm a bit OCD and trying to get no faults!) All perameters are met, except "On-board...
