I have changed pins on two different cars, GLA 45 and my C450. I would
suggest rolling the glass down in case your pliers slip off the pin and hit the glass. Just grip hard turn counter clockwise and lift up while removing. They will finally come off.

Great!

Which pins did you install in the 450?

lyndellw

I found the c450 pins on ebay out of asia for $30 some dollars. They listed two sizes, The W205 will use the larger dia. I don't recall the name of the vendor, just check all the listings for AMG door pins. Fast service.

Thanks Cajun and Tivoboy for your answers.
lyndwell would you mind giving us the link to your website?

Larry3Jswft

I'd like genuine AMG pins: does anyone have the part number?

Do the rear plastic pins unscrew, too?

Thanks

Does anyone know if what sort of MBRACE items have to be ordered at order or configuration, or is it all available to add services after pickup? I requested the mbrace connect only (which is free for 2016 models) but don't see details of anything on the order page.?

Bourne

I just try to help but didn't order neither install those pins.

I found the part nb on the web. I cannot confirm whether these are compatible with C450 but it looks like

A 000 766 02 28 (front - one piece)

A 000 766 03 28 (rear)

Also found this 3y old small tuto: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/5445900-post1.html

Ok, folks, be careful as the rear set may not be screw types!

lyndellw

I do not have a website.

Bourne

Sorry I meant link of the pins at 30 $

How can we get the car characteristics from a VIN number? Is this possible even before the car is fully built?

Good news guys Next week we will have our hands on the OE tune for the c450 to review for our website. Stay tuned for more information as I get it. Happy Hollidays and this is my 100th post!

Boy o boy, if the results are as good as OE claims, this is going to be my tune!

Popcorn in hand, go Cajun!

lyndellw

OK I was wrong about the price.They are 54.99. Ebay search for AMG lock pins for W205 (mb2_parts) The appearance is flawless in construction.

Bourne

Ths forum is a bit sleeping these days let's move on !

The ECU reprog is now available in Europe. This is what I got from the dealer i'm used to.

Basically stage 1 + 33hp / 100 nm for around 1200 EUR

careful units are european ones.

Thanks for the data Bourne...what's amazing is the OE tune really has blown the competition out of the water in terms of gains...Cajun is the pioneer and we will have to see if his numbers confirm the claimed gains...for 900 USD OE is the way to go as of right now

willywonka

What brand manufacture is this tune? Cost ie )1267 usd

Time will tell. It's just Marketing HP/TQ until confirmed by valid third parties.

Bourne

Is anyone here going to purchase this I'm interested in seeing a review of it.

Bourne

I Will not think to do such change before the end of 2y warranty !

Has anyone managed to find aftermarket wheels in size 19 inch for this? I posted this several times without a response yet. Even tire rack doesn't have a wheel that will fit.

I think Vipershade has switched out his 19" tires. Check his post for info.
