Hi guys After some advice about the M273 500 V8 engine in a 2006-2008 S-Class I know that the M272 and M273 engines suffer from balancer shaft, timing, idler and camshaft adjustment solenoid valve problems and there is also a MB Bulletin published online. My dad is really keen to swap his 08...

Hi I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am interested in getting my stock CLK500 (388 ps) remapped. I have looked at the infinite internet sites and they basically fall into 2 categories. One group claims a conservative/realistic 12-15HP increase to 402-ish HP. And...
