So I have had to flash back to stock and back to tuned a couple of times in the last few months. Going to dealers and wanting to make sure nothing happens to warranty. Fear from Audi ownership.
Anyway, it may be a coincidence but I am noticing that the downshift barks are not as aggressive or loud as they used to be. They almost seem stock with the occasional aggressive downshift that makes me feel that the tune did write and take but something is not right maybe with the throttle mapping? Temperatures have also been much higher (85*F+) in the last couple of days. My car seems to every once in a while give a small hesitation under WOT load as well. Only difference I have done was I took out my AfE filters to clean them over the weekend and then reinstalled making sure everything was snug and good. No CEL at all.
Is this just what happens in the heat or should I try to flash back to stock and then tune again?
Can flashing back and forth multiple times cause an issue?
I had a code when the weather first got hot for MAF but then I flashed to stock and back and it went away and never came back for over a week now.
I love bark questions. You just need to call EC and ask for the 'extra bark' file. All fixed.
Hahahah another useless reply by you bro. You know getting a post count up on a forum isn't something most people strive for. It does not matter in real life.
I had a legitimate issue. A change in the car. Not that I was looking for more "ark, crack, pop" etc. Just that I had it before and now I do not.
Hesitation and loss of power are symptoms of dirty MAF sensors. The ECU will think it's running lean and increase the LTFT.
Clean your MAF sensors, reset the tranny adaptive learning and you'll likely be good to go.
Best way to clean the MAF on this car? I know some cars its fine to just use MAF cleaner sprays while maf is still in airbox. Others you have to remove the maf. Any easy way to remove the MAF to get it thoroughly cleaned out?
You said you had a MAF code. Maybe they're damaged instead of being dirty. Potential blockage, etc...
Too many variables to diagnose efficiently over the internet man. Feel free to bring your car over with a premium case of beer and I'll sort it out for you

touche hahaahha. Ill look into it.
Code went away and hasnt returned. Would bad gas cause this?
1. Call Eurocharged -- They can answer tune questions. But the car doesn't just unwrite itself or lose the tune.
2. Just drive your car man. It's a C-class with a big motor. It is going to squeek, rattle, shake, and roll. That said, the car is smart. It'll throw CELs or give you warnings when things are wrong. When the car is telling you something is wrong then come tell us. Sorry if that sounds harsh, just an opinion and you know how much those are worth.
All good. It was a really bad batch of gas. Mustve been pure ****. Ive never had that happen. And all of those previous issues literally were real things. I am just sensitive to things in cars.

Not harsh at all. I get it. Each of those ended up getting taken care of or getting solved. Apologies for crowding up the forum.

Let the man create as many threads as he likes. Geez.
You must have missed my message.
I'm trying to portray to the OP that little things on this car are going to pop up, a lot. But that is because, like I said, it is just a c-class with a big motor. The car tells you when something is wrong and needs to be fixed.
Otherwise, just get out there and enjoy the thing. It's a mechanical object, aka not perfect, so it is going to tick, squeak, and make all these sounds and do these things the OP mentions.
You'll never truly enjoy this car if you focus on every little thing as though catastrophic failure is right around the corner. And I feel like a little firm message to the OP, showing his own actions, would do some good in showing that perhaps he is a little paranoid at times.
OP --- Again, I stress that you shouldn't be afraid of posting here. I'm not trying to send the message that I think you're crowding up the forum and wasting our time. However, you have to see where I am coming from, as with those who frequent these boards, that you have been posting threads quite often.
If you have a CEL or major issue, or perhaps a problem a tech cannot solve, then by all means come tell us. But dang dude, just get out there and rip on the car like it is meant to be ripped on.

I rip on it every day haha. Weekends especially hard. 150mph+ runs (on a closed course in mexico of course) I love the car but generally when I feel things and ask they usually feel abnormal. Ah well. All good for now.
So today I got CEL. Hottest day of year so far. I cannot get specific answer to what these codes could be for that I pulled of my scanner.
Any ideas? I can try to clean maf on Wed and mess with airboxes to see if seal is off or I over tightened clamps where the rubber attaches. Im at a loss. I searched for others getting these codes but found nothing.
Codes pulled : p101 and p1351
Also, when I tap for multiple descriptions it gives me ten different car manufacturers and what this code means on their cars but not Benz and every manufacturer this code m means something completely different
You guys tell me to post when I get a legitimate CEL. I do so and you still bust my *****. Wtf kind of forum is this? I literally have a cel would rather not go to dealer if I don't have to. So either help out or don't respond. When I had my Audi never had any type of bs like this when asking about an issue. This forum just to discuss the good of a c63 without any help from someone knowledgeable? (Which is part of the purpose of a forum) you sure you aren't from the bmw camp cause you sure act like what I've seen on their forums
That's a totally legit question. I wish I could help but this one is over my head. I'm sure that someone here should be able to help interpret the codes for you. Hang in there.
Your P0101 code means just about nothing. Could be a dirty or weak MAF. Many tuned cars get it as the volume of air going past the MAF is significantly different from stock. I'd guess the P1351 code is the same. Clear the codes. Here's the result of another search: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...rformance.html
I got that code twice when the temp changed like 40 degrees overnight. Both times I cleaned the MAFs, made sure the airboxes were seated right, and reset the code. Went away. I think these cars are just a little picky sometimes. I was running EC v5 tunes, weistec filters and a charcoal filter delete for both CELs.

This tells you that you need a little better obd scanner, something where you can put in the vehicle you are driving and it it will store information. Then you only get descriptions and codes applicable to your vehicle. I got a BlueDriver obd and the corresponding app. Seems pretty decent so far. I'm on my iPad so not going to hunt for it but there are also a few websites where you can find a list of error codes - Google will find them, and a search of this site will probably tell you also.
There's a ton of info here. You're right - this is a valid question. I think the resistance comes cos a ton of people never search they just post and ask, and some members are weary of that. This car has been out for close to 9 model years. Lot of info here, but that's also a long time to have people asking and re-asking the same questions. That's all.
