Too much time on my hands today so having a wee look at ebay for all things MB!!!!

We have been there before IIRC it replaces the MAF. Malcolm was doing some tests on one. I will find the thread.

Read about this elsewhere.

It's a resistor which can be bought for literally a few pence from Maplins etc.

It basically over fuels the car, so plays havoc with m.p.g. as well.

Oh....he does supply a cable tie though

Hey Ho.......beaten again

 

[Blobcat]

I have this performance resistor fitted to my PC's...

See that now
There is also another chance selling you Instructions for yor ipod to command but the wording until you get in looks as though he is selling the actual parts reqd!!!

Must stop looking on ebay but am terribly bored!!

I've just got the cable tie on mine (blocking the keyboard)

Couple of nice SLKs you've found though

Blobcat is quick on the old forum search function!!!
If your not fast your last!

Interesting, I sold my last car with it installed, this was done by fitting the resistor onto a micro switch so that it only came into operation at Kick down

I think it did go better, but I sold the car. DavidsSL was also doing the mod on his SL500 and I do not know how he found it.

The resistor connects over the air temp sensor or the water temp sensor.

These sensors have a cold -5c resistance of resistance of 10kΩ dropping to zero Ω at 100c. the resistors are 4.7kΩ. they make the engine far too thirsty to be engaged the whole time,that was why a micro switch on the throtle was used.
I have at least two thousand in stock,that I paid £2 for the lot, so if anyone wants them at £3 each, £6k profit.

Malcolm you do know that someone somewhere will convert this info into a PDF file then flog it on fleabay

You know Russell,when I was eating my dinner, I thought that I could call mine an improved MK2 version and charge £6 each, no I would rather sit here and think about the CLK where the Brake switch did not fix the car.
