Tuning and servicing for C250 CGI

[Oliverf2309]

Hi there, just purchased a 2012 C250 CGI auto estate and can’t seem to find anyone local to Surrey / Middlesex to look after my merc, looking for a remap at a reasonable price and ongoing servicing / maintenance from a reputed specialist, any recommendations please are welcomed.

If you don’t mind a drive down the A3 then chat to Olly and the team at Prestige Car Service:

Great reputation from regulars on here and organisers of Benz on the Green which you should visit next May

a. +1 for Olly at PCS Horndean.

b. Your car has a 1.8L engine tuned to 201bhp, so it's already quite stressed. There's still some scope for further tuning, just don't expect miracles from an engine that has already been considerably tuned by the manufacturer.

c. Your car most likely has the M271 engine which is prone to premature timing gear failure. Before tuning the car I would suggest an inspection of the condition of the timing chain and camshaft sprocket wheels, and ideally also have the original parts replaced preemptively with modified parts.
