hi everyone,just wondering if it is possible that if i purchase a 2nd hand c32 ecu from the scrapyard,then send it to jerry for the jerry tune,and when i receive it back in the uk i swap it round with my original ecu,reason why i want to go this route is that i promised the misses i would not modify the merc..she wont find out this way cause it will be sent to my friends house,do you lot all understand what i mean???

He said no, as in no because the ecu is coded to the vin #. Ecu's are not interchangeable.

You could however buy a new ecu from mercedes and do as you are planning, but that's not a very cost efective route.

I was told ECUs are not interchangable too, but don't know if Jerry can do something to make it work.

The whole shipping process is just 2-3 days, Jerry needs almost no time to make a tune. He received my ECU in the morning, and the thing was already sent out the same day.

Its a hard decision, but once you pulled your trigger, you will not regret.

I have the same problem with you, just went over it and now I got the tune. Tell you what, the tune turns your car to a completely different beast. I am totally amazed, had a few runs with the same cars of my buddy's, I pulled them right away, you won't believe it.
