losses

Bought my 2003 C180 coupe about eight months ago for £1000.00. So far it's had drop links and bushes front and back , lower suspension arms both front sides. It's now needing rear brakes completely overhauled , discs , pads , callipers and handbrake shoes. Also spotted it needs a shocker on the...

Hi, I have a Mercedes R Class 2007, 36,000 miles on the clock. With the engine running, and the car stationary, if I press the brake pedal hard, and keep a constant pressure it will carry on moving until it hits the pedal stop? If I pump the brakes three or four times, and then try and do...

Hi again, I need help regarding a supercharger issue. My car is a manual w203 c200 Kompressor MY2002, with the M111 engine producing originally 163ps. In its standard form the car was working under a boost level of 0,37 bar at full throttle. Near the rev limiter this could go a bit higjer...

Some of you will know that I'm studying tuning the M271 Engine from C180k spec to C230k spec. The BIG question is how much are transmission losses on an auto. My car measured 141bhp at the wheels which equals what exactly at the flywheel? Flywheel HP -Transmission Losses = HP at the wheel...
