SPRC1934 Recall - Diseasel Software Update

[keefysher]

Received a recall letter this morning concerning updating the engine control software for Euro 6 diseasel engined cars.

An initial 40 minute job, but if required a further check of the NOX sensors with replacement if required taking a further 3 hours apparently.

Wonder if it will get a wash

Booked in for next Thursday. Lets see how much coffee I can drink and biscuits I can scoff

Mine is a 2017 build GLE 350 V6 diseasel.

Hmmmm, wonder why the software needs an update... emissions issues with the original?
When VeeDub updated the owners have had loads of issues afterwards

Hi - have you had this done yet? My CLS 350 was done a month or so ago and I feel it's using more fuel since. Could you please let me know if you notice any increase in fuel consumption? Thanks

Jeepers. OP said he had it booked in for yesterday. Give him a chance to come home and have a cuppa and eat the rest of those biccies he pocketed from the dealer

We had our A200d in for an update 18 months ago. (66 plate). Noticed a fair drop in fuel consumption after. Encountered no other problems though.

Shall take a bit more interest if I get another recall.

You mention a drop in fuel consumption. Do you mean that?i.e. the car uses less fuel now. If so that is very good but is the opposite of what I heard from others.

if less after update, i suspect they criteria for regen has been altered shortened. ,any other ideas ?

Lower number mpg figures I would think, so using more fuel .

I would think so too, but wanted to check.

You don't get something for nothing.
