It should be on the driver's side corner near the firewall, under a plastic covering, if it's the same as other W203s. If not, then it's somewhere else.

If it's anything like some of those 350 engines it should be "right in front" of you when you pop the hood - like as a part of the engine cover. A small 8"x8" silver box that looks like: ||\/|| ... lol.

Yeah, these '06 guys got it easy :\. You know how difficult it is to attempt taking off an ECU on an '05 K and below? You have to want to lose a few millimeters of skin to get a few screws off (but it's fun, don't get me wrong and with the right size tools VERY QUICK)

93 all the way. ECU is out, took all but 3 minutes. The hardest part was figuring out how the clip works. Once i got that it was a joke. Stay tuned. ECU+ Sprint Booster = Mucho Fun... hehehehe

Sprint Booster is like drinking decaf coffee. Why not get a bored throttle body for the same effect, but real HP gains?
