The setting for 93 octane is not equal to 93 ron it’s like 98 ron. The fuel quantity settings provide more fuel (richer) at WOT, start up, idle.

Great Stuff as Always. Thanks Kleemann. Now that’s resolved. This should take care of the lean A/F ratio and Pre-Detonation concerns that those of us with pulleys have. Its nice to have a car that has Adaptive ECU's. I am glad I don’t need to play with the MAS or fuel regulator as others with older engines are doing on the SLK's.
Sounds like we need a better or second intercooler to cool things down if we want more Torque.

Dont know off-hand I dont get any requests for that programming... But I will search for you on Monday.
BTW I think your dealer was feeding you a line or going about things the wrong way with regards to the "unlock code". There is a 16 digit SCN string you need to get from the FDOK to SWITCH out an ECU- not to select the adaptives. All cars MBZ sells in USA are 50 state cars so I dont believe the "Cali get strange rules" reasoning.

thanks young, i never been quoted before :)
here are the dyno results. you can interpret it however you wish.
the dyno probably implies improvement in some areas, but my butt dyno didn't like the way it felt. though there are a couple of spikes of improvement, you can see that 3rd and 4th gear were more "choppy."
it could all be in my head, but i felt that the ride was a little smoother at the base setting.

If it is not too much trouble, could confirm the ability to delete the No Tele-aid message as well? The dealer has told me over the phone it is not possible, but I believe it is. I am taking it in Tuesday for something else, so maybe they can do it for me then.

And the second run had the ignition set to 91 or 93 and the Fuel Quantity at base, correct?

"NO PHONE"
Just got back from our workshop and can verify that this removes the "NO PHONE" screen on W203's:
With DAS:
Control Units -> Info. and comms. -> ICM -> Control Unit Adaptations -> Version Coding -> Optional Equipment
You will be presented with a menu of options- all are either "PRESENT" or "NOT PRESENT". Select "NOT PRESENT" for the cellular telephone and the MFD display goes away. Pressing either of the two phone buttons on the wheel results in: "FUNCTION NOT AVAILABLE" on the MFD- then it goes away in a few seconds.
I am too cheap to have bought tele-aid (
)so my Coupe does not display it- Oddly enough it is "NOT PRESENT"- it too can be removed.

Thanks
I had my NO PHONE message removed, (thus I knew it could be done), but didn't have the exact menu location for it.
It is very disappointing that the dealers know less about these features than some of the customers. The fact that some dealers say "nope, can't be done" then, along comes proof. Sometimes they still say "No", until the EXACT menu is handed to them.
Is this good service? MBZ please train the techs. These menus and features should be published, what is the secret? If they were published the techs might have a chance. Right now I would say the score is about Customers 4, Techs 1.
JustinTRW suggest you have a good talk with your Service Advisor, they will soon be asking you to grade their efforts as "Excellent".

Dealers
I think its a case of not caring- Techs in the shop deal with this every day. If you wanted to install a telephone you would be doing the reverse procedure- rather simple to me. Service advisors are all about getting paid work through the shop- usually warranty stuff. Your DAS request is a non-paid effort on their part- thus they dont give a s***.
Too bad really- as you are right- they are always on me to rate their service (whith the silly little mail-in cards). They try to solicit an "excellent" grade by offering up a MBZ coffe mug or other stupid gift. They miss the point dont they?

Driving it I can't tell any difference but I didn't expect to.

Kleemann can't sell that software. It isn't his. My understanding is that the computer and software can be leased from MB for $14,000 to $25,000 per year depending on what modules you need.

if i'm understanding this, i should not change my octane rating of 91 to 93 since i don't have any aftermarket performance mods. is this a correct assessment? michigan and ohio all have 93 octane at the pump, so 93 is readily available. but at the same time, loosing 10 hp in my c240 is not exactly a good thing. also, i always rev up at 5k even 6k before shifting. so yes or no on the change? thanks guyz.
