    Recirc valve??

    My understanding is that it is controlled by the ECU and will vent compressed air back in through the airbox to reduce excess pressure in the intake system. If the supercharger is running and more intake pressure is required it will close the butterfly valve accordingly.

    SLK 230K power/kickdown problems

    I'm trying to locate the part number for this item for my CLK230K. Been looking at the .ru site but the part seems a little elusive, to my eyes at least :( Any pointers, or even the correct part number (which I assume would most likely be common between the SLK230K and the CLK230K) would be...

    Bogus Service books stamped to order.

    If members from here with eBay accounts report it they might do something as it won't just be one or two people I suspect.

    Bogus Service books stamped to order.

    As a UK member I've reported the seller on eBay. Not that just me reporting it would do the trick, but if others do the same they may take action.
