robparker said:yea... the system on my s is multipoint and you treat it no different to petrol,, the sytstem on my 230 is single point and you cant put your footdown rapidly from trafficlights because as fizzyfarmer said it can backfire, in 1 year/30,000 miles it has done it twice.. both times it blew off vacume lines making it un-drivable, but 30 mins to fix. but, if you drive gently or switch to petrol if you need to floor it, you wont get problems. with the multipoint system you can floor it all you like and it wont backfire. single point systems are fine, but you do have to adapt your driving style to them
robparker said:they must have been old systems, because they were not suitable for s-class's. convert your car using a new multipoint system, you will never have any problems. i had my s320 converted and have my 230ce converted... HIGHLY reccomended!
