    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    Thanks W1ghty…You’re right, a nice drive up the road into North Yorks from me 👍 I’ll have a chat in New Yr & report back. Happy New Yr to all btw.

    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    No, loads of stuff about remapping available so haven’t contacted anyone as I suspect it’s pretty likely you’ll be told what you want to hear (or am I just being cynical) ?

    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    Thankyou Bellow. All fair comment and could be crucial but being a massed-produced engine, would it be financially viable for MB to have different internals dependent on output I wonder (bearing in mind the output is not outrageous anyway) ? As mentioned earlier do we not have anyone on the...

    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    Hi, following post by Petrol Pete: Interesting article there so now know for sure which engine varient I’ve got, so just takes me back to the original question of is there no hardware difference between the 181 & 241 hp output other than the ECU/programming ? If that is the case, wouldn’t it be...

    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    Unless I’m mistaken, being a 2016 c200 I’m running the m274 engine which as far as I can see is a common unit across the c200, c250 & c300 ? Half the battle is finding a definitive answer as to what the exact differences are. Is it purely software ? Surely there must be a MB techy using the...

    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    Thankyou W1ghty. Granted, not going to be able to make significant gains but say 20% should be achievable and worthwhile. Given that I’m after more drivability rather than outright pace and I drive with a light right foot I wouldn’t expect any greater issues with sprockets/chains than say a c300...

    W205 c200 exhaust upgrade/remap

    Hi, considering a remap in the new year to get the std c200 primarily to deliver more torque. Probably don’t want to get to the c300 output but interested to know if there would be any merit in looking at the c300 twin branch exhaust. Anybody had a go at this and is it possible without a hugh...

    Audio accessiblity with engine not running

    No, of course I don’t think my battery would suddenly improve by installing a gadget that turns stop/start off and that’s completely missing the point…It was that I resent being forced to continually have to turn it off every time I set off or change mode. It should be selectable to either on or...

    Audio accessiblity with engine not running

    Thankyou Richard. Yeah the dreaded eco symbol is almost always yellow now so that ties in as well. btw, seen an American gadget that plugs into the obd port that shuts the eco down. Pretty expensive though. Anyone aware of something similar in the UK ? Sick of the sight of it if I’m being honest.

    Ok, thankyou. Might get it looked at…MOT due next few weeks 🤞

    Audio accessiblity with engine not running

    Thankyou. That may be a good call. Suspect it may be running on the original battery as there’s no evidence of it being replaced. Car turns over 1st time however and it gets used pretty much every day. Can the battery health be reliably checked ?

    Audio accessiblity with engine not running

    Hi, This may well have been asked before so apologies if so. How (or can) I avoid Command shutting everything down after 3 mins after the engine is switched off on my 2016 w205 c200 ?Surely it must be possible to listen to the radio as the battery drain is going to be really low ?Never had...

    W205 c200 front brake upgrade

    That’s on the ‘to do’ list but as I’m not increasing performance and using std MB parts I’d be surprised if there’s trouble. Same insurer gave me their blessing when I switched std alloys for staggered AMG items on a W204 220Cdi.

    W205 c200 front brake upgrade

    Thankyou, interesting. But I’m trying to establish if there is any difference other than the front caliper and disc size, ie same master cylinder/servo, same rear caliper, biasing or any other unforeseen issues.(Trying not to overthink this). Are there any MB mechanics out there who routinely...

    W205 c200 front brake upgrade

    Yep good points. Had a Jag some time ago. On their forum anything you were thinking about someone would have tried it. I was hoping the same would apply here. Surely I’m not the only dude to have considered this ? Just interested to get the views of anyone who had….Worth it or not/straight swap...

    W205 c200 front brake upgrade

    Thankyou for your reply…All valid points but why would MB fit 4 pots to the 350e for instance? Is it simply the extra weight of the battery pack requires bigger brakes. Or is it just something visible to justify the extra £££ ?

    W205 c200 front brake upgrade

    3 wks ago, so brakes working normally, just want more grab than they are able to deliver.
