Break In - ECU Programmed?
I have read different thoughts on this.
Does anyone know for sure if the ECU is programmed to limit out put for initial mileage?
I swear mine seems to be getting quicker as it approaches 1000 miles?
At first the 2016 CLA loaner felt faster than the 2016 C300..I was getting worried LOL
I had read somewhere that it would take 1000 miles before full output was allowed?
Thanks!!!!

The AMG A45 C45 and c63 deffo limit output before 1000miles...
I don't recall mine doing it but then again I didn't rev it out unitl after 1600kms reached, and then I went into manual and reved it through part and full load intermitently...
After a couple more thousand kms I stopped conciously revving it out n occsion and have just reverted to normal driving.. which with the torque and power curve lends itself to short shifting anyway...ie never reach the rev limiter...
