Re: Command arm for W204 C63

This past week, it was serviced and MOT'd at the neighbourhood main dealer. This year's MOT is up for renewal today. Look at the MOT history at https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/. It says to fix the significant issues right away.
Severely worn ball joint on the offside of the front suspension arm ...

Command arm for W204 C63

As a result of excessive play in the front offside control arm, my W204 C63 recently failed a MOT at a main dealer. According to them, it will be OK after it's replaced; however, they don't have it in store, and the estimated time of arrival for the order is uncertain (it may be weeks or months ...

Remember to enter the final seven digits of your chassis number into realoem when checking the PN, as suggests.

Re: Boost the navigational remaining power during stops

Stopping to supercharge your battery will cause the navigation to update in real-time what your expected state of charge (SOC) will be at the next stop. Hold on until the battery life indicator reads 20%. :)

Just like me, you'll be attempting to reach every supercharger with zero state of charge ...

Re: Boost the navigational remaining power during stops

You shouldn't utilise what you're calling a "indicated range" because it isn't actually that. Simply tap that number to convert it to battery percentage, and then leave it that way.

You can see what your battery life should be when you get to your location thanks to the navigation system. This is ...

Re: What sets the e400 apart from the e43 on the inside?

I will restrict myself to a single stage 1. A music for the open road. Plus a map of TCU. I happen to own the 3L bi turbo model.

Naturally, the larger the turbos, the longer the latency will be. That's why they opted for two smaller turbos rather than one large one!

Re: What sets the e400 apart from the e43 on the inside?

All of you, I appreciate the information. So, in a nutshell. There is no difference in the internals. Just a tune and larger turbos. Concerning the question... Replacing the 400 turbos with the 43 turbos would be a worthwhile endeavour. On the 400, I would like to perform a stage 1 tune.
