Re: Charge Cooler Pumps

Just came of the phone from speaking to BRABUS in Germany, the technical person I spoke to was very helpful, among the things he suggested was to send the ECU to them and they will remap it for free as during the cars life Mercedes Benz may have upgraded the software during a service, clearing...

Thanks for your reply I was told that if the tempreture is to high the ECU will pill back the power in order to prevent "Detonation" I am told by DMS that the idle temperature should be around 43C and under load around 55C, from my research I have found out that these 55 Kompresor engines...

Hi, can you tell me do you find it hard to keep up the up-keep? and how often do you drive you car?

I normally clean my wheels then use a metal polish like Autosol at the end of every day it gets driven, but once I had to take my car to my MB main dealer, on the way there it rained heavily so by the time I arrived there my wheels were filthy, anyway my car stayed there for a week without being...

Are your wheels bare metal? and do you polish and or wax them? or just wash, wipe and go?

Yeah that right, tell me do you remember the Ford Tickford Capri, it had a 2.8 Litre V6, Twin Turbo!!! I think It was converted by a division of Aston Martin (Tickford) very Fast!!!

Oh no, it get's parked in a garage during the week and it only comes out during the weekend.... if the weather is good!!!

Well....I did buy an ice cream but it was for me, the good thing is that it did get a good suntan!!!! :bigsmile:

Oh Yeah, I remember that car, 2.0 Turbo, I think the 0-60 time was around 6.0 seconds or so, one of the poster adverts compared the performance to an Aston Martin model of the day but I can't remember which one!
