Hi, does my fuel consumption sound ok. I just want to be sure its not lower than normal. I have the 7g autobox, 2007 e280 cdi sport saloon with 124k. I reset the fuel consumption gauge whilst already on the motorway, so this is just cruising at an average of 62mpg, over 75 miles it averaged...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a definitive answer about ECU coding. I think I may have damaged my ECU Ref: 113 153 30 79 when I allowed water to get into the ECU after I (stupidly) pressure washed the car at the weekend forgetting I had left the RHS cover of the SAM/ECU box! Then I started...

I picked up my new car earlier this week and had it re-mapped by MSL (see the E63S AMG Remap & Dyno video posted by Acid yesterday :) ) Typically the dealer didn't update the map or DAB software as requested so it's going in next week to have that done. My question is will updating the...
