folks,

I'm new here.. just had a recall done by a local mercedez dealership.. motorwerks of barrington. they replaced an air induction piece...I don't recall what it was but they had problems reprogramming the car. it took the entire day. By the time I got it back, it seems to lose its acceleration. It just seems sluggish compared to when I first got the car. Even when I go to manual mode, it doesn't quite have the same raw power. it is still plenty quick but I know it isn't the same. I remember having my head go back to the headrest when I press the gas pedal.. now it seems to be a more linear acceleration.

any suggestion on how I can test the horsepower and torque? I seems more like a cls500 than a cls55.

Has anyone had this problem?

yes do a search. lots of thread about the IC pump recall and the flash.
I bought my cls55 with 3k on the clock and asked if it had the recal done and sure enough it was. But....... my car runs like a raped ape! I can smoke my buddys v10 M5 everytime no problem.
