limit

Can the 4k rev limiter be turned off? i know its to protect auto gearboxs, i have a w210 manual petrol but it is still programmed in. I guess it uses the front wheel speed sensors as a reference as it still kicks in neutral and even when doing a stationary burnout.

I dont know if this is true in all the 55k engines, but it certainly is in mine. I cant rev it past 4,000 rpm when at standstill. Is there any way of removing this limiter so it can rev more freely like a C63 etc etc. Thanks

Where can I find the part number for W208 cab bow ram limit switch? Talking to dealer on phone he is not much help and wants the car, not content with details of VIN etc. Thanks.

Found all the info to find and diagnose this pesky little blighter. Does anyone know what sort of price for one? I'll fit it myself but is it worth a second hand one or go straight for new. Also does anyone have pics or diagram for lubricating hood mechanism. Thanks, DC

Hi, I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I drive a Mercedes CLk 200 Kompressor manual. I bought it because it had plenty of power and it was RWD, and i love the car, I know there is a rev limit in neutral, and when drifting and various car shows I like to show...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at all this dithering; one minute there's talk of a higher 80mph limit, now this... BBC News - 60mph speed limit proposal for stretch of M1 motorway

Hi everyone, and happy new year! A few days ago I decided to test the convertible roof on my CLK as I haven't used it for a while. Sure enough it went down fine, but on the way back up it stops at the point where the metal cover should close. Searching on this forum it sounds like my 'bow...

Hi All, First time post - I have searched and can't find anything obvious that clears this up so hope this isn't repetitive for you. My lucky better half has just taken delivery of a new SLK55 AMG with the COMAND Online system installed. Beyond being a great car, and the occasional use...

Just wondering if anybody else has come across this? It's a message that comes up on my C350 CDI, along with an electronic limiter. Now, I thought that the car was limited to 155mph, so I was a little surprised when this came up and stopped me going any faster. I have to say, I felt...

Does anyone happen to know what is the safe limit for torque for the autobox in a C207 (E350CDI)? I am considering a remap and I am told 750Nm is possible, which I do not doubt, but I want to satisfy myself it is well within the transmission's capability. The standard output is 620Nm...

need a roof limit switch for the bow ram on the passenger side where the rear of the bow lifts up and it clips onto the top of the ram if anyone can help please let me know it would be greatly appreciated

Hi All, I've been reading around for info regarding the torque limit of the Gearbox fitted to the C350cdi (2012 - 7G Tronic Plus) and there seems to be a 700nm figure raised regularly. I wanted to know if this is a stated figure from MB or is this mythical figure that is a guesstimate ...

is there a way to change the rev limit so that it will rev to full when standing instead of limiting out at 4k? or even be able to put it on a switch? or does it have to be plugged in to change that?

Here we go.. plenty of fine country roads out there, so let's reduce the speed limit on all of them in a 'one size fits all' move. Why does this country have to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator. BBC News - Speed limits: 40mph plan for country roads

Im using a 2GB SD card in my W204, but its a bit too small for the amount of music I want to copy to it. Im thinking of buying a 16GB card, but is there a limit that the COMAND can read? Im thinking that if it can only read a lower size card, theres no point in upgrading the card. I know the...
