question

I am under the impression the M156 other than the dry-sumped SLS is basically the same engine at different states of tune. Most C63's which are the most 'de-tuned' seem to be remap-able up to about the 520bhp region. The later M156 engined E63 + S63's etc had 518bhp. Can they be remapped to...

Am I right in assuming that each marker is 0.01? Just need to be sure :o

Been with my current insurer for 5 months and have a 6 years no claims discount. Paying around £600 per year. I thought I had ticked the option to protect my claims but it turns out I havent. And I cant add that option on now so far into the policy. To cancel the current policy costs £50. Should...

Hi, forgive me as I am new to this Mercedes lark, I have a 2006 c220cdi sport, when driving to work this morning the temp guage didn't go above 50 degrees, the ambient temperature was 3.5 degrees, could this be a thermostat problem, or is this normal for these engines? Thanks

My car is around 10 weeks old now and usually as with previous cars I wax this time of year and again in October. Any views on whether this is a good pattern or will the October coat be sufficient.:thumb:

Is there any significance to the coloured dots on the wipers of my C250 W204 estate?

On my previous Mercedes C55 and previous C220 CDI when the Gearbox was in C mode it felt like it pulled off in 2nd gear yet put it in S and it pulled from 1st gear. With the 7G box on my CLK 320 CDI it doesn't seem to matter whether it's in C or S mode as it always pulls off in 1st. Is...
