C 300 Luxury
ECU tuning for C300 W 204, any suggestions?
Good morning all,
I want to tune my 2014 C 300 Luxury 3.5 Litre V6; I don't want to get smoked on the road by a 4 cylinder Ford Focus (any more) I guess I didn't buy the best brand of luxury car in the world to have diminished performance (I also guess I didn't buy an AMG, but it seems like most of the V6 cars out there have much more impressive numbers)
I searched online & sent some emails & came up with this list: ** if anyone has experience with these companies & can offer any guidance, I'd be terribly appreciative! **
https://www.vrtuned.com/tuned-ecu-tu...152690987.html - plug & play $700
https://www.vrtuned.com/tuned-ecu-flash-tune-mercedes-c300-30l-cdi-blue-w204-1114-p-150775599.html This one you have to send it in for a bench tune $800
(VR tuned says these are both for the C300 V6)
https://shop.amrperformance.com/prod...e-ship-in-ecu/ - You have to send this one in $600
https://www.eurocharged.com/ecutunin...-software-2012 This LOOKS great, but at $1000, the other one is $1200
https://www.eurocharged.com/ecutunin...-software-2012
So if anyone has experience with these companies or tunes PLEASE let me know, all input will be valued!
Is it a nightmare to remove the ECU? Nobody has their engine blow up with a bad tune?

From what feed back I have heard and read here in forums is that OE tuning is one of the best ones for Mercedes I am debating to tune my car just cause people don’t have much reviews or after comments but I am in the same boat as you
I just want to make it a little faster as well as not mess up my car

I found a local tuner and they adjusted the timing and air/fuel ratios, I am only allowed to run 93 octane now. Car is 100% more fun to drive.
Also added a strut bar under hood and that was a cheap but easy way to help with handling with the additional hp.

EDIT: Wow! You're claiming 20-30 hp for a W203/W204 C350. I'm assuming that you are bringing those up from 265hp to 295hp with the non-GDI engines. If so, and you can do that with a C300 3.5l car, that's impressive. What other mods are required?

hello, i just got the 2014 mercedes benz c300 4matic sport and im thinking about getting amr since you can just flash it instead of shipping the ecu. i don’t know if there’s any advantage but i think it’s easier overall. also you can add burble tune and tcu tune, which i don’t know what that really do but i’m going email them and ask about it. anyways did you tune your car? if so what you decided? and how is it?
