Hello everybody, I'm very new to this I've just entered the world of Mercedes since many years of owning Audis. I've read most of the posts on remapping I'm interested in remapping my Ml 270 auto, but worried about what is said on here, any help and clarification would be truly appreciated thank you for time

...from a driveability point of view, an ML270 auto, remapped is worth the upgrade, really allows you to point and click in acceleration, take off etc. Just consider the improved mpg, the warranty, the excarcerbated wear & tear etc if you drive hard.

Hi Mark,
I still like to browse the forum when I get chance, still as enjoyable as ever!!

I had my c200 cdi mapped 12 months ago.I can still say its best money i,ve spent.Far better to drive,more torque,better autobox behaviour,same mpg as before.Would do it again without a thought! live a little!!

well....i had a Beamer 530D chipped last year...now this car had 150k on it...but it did improve torque and MPG however the auto box started to slip after 3k miles...i would recommend remaps for newer cars but would be wary on cars that have done lots of miles due to addtional pressure on boxes etc...

Remember OEM conduct extensive R&D testing at production spec... going outside these boundaries may result in premature componant failure....

I have a C220 cdi 6sp Manual and have had that mapped 3yrs ago @ 125K .
It took the car from a nice drive that lacked (flat even) a bit of Mid-Range and turned it into a great car

The car has now done over 175k and the only thing`s i have had to change is the Inter cooler at about 145k and the HP fuel pump seals & end-cap @160k and reading up on here these faults seem common to unchipped cars also so i wouldnt blame the chip for there failures

We did notice on long M-way journeys a definite improvement on the mpg averaging about 7 mpg more than before the chip .Which to me was a big bonus as i chipped it to improve the drivability not economy

Clai`s 2p worth on the subject

Now that is good news, to me at least. My car, same as yours but with the Sequentronic clutch, has only done 50K and I do want to fish'n'chip it, so looking at options.

Steve... do you do the ST3 module?

 

[sr-performancelive..]

Hi mate,
Sorry no we dont...just good ol remaps..

 

[David-Butter]

ive been toying with the idea of the ST3 unit but in not sure it will get used, i belive the unit is just a unit to allow the switching of a remap of course you would need the software (remap) to be loaded to the unit or at lease i think this is the case ? someone may be able to point you in the right direction
