Hi there i just had my 2002 w203 C32 AMG dyno'ed in england today, and could not be done properly due to there being a flatspot at 5,000 rpm in 3rd gear.the car works completly fine, and then when its 84 mph on the dyno in 3rd it loses all power.it does this when i drive too??as anyone had this problem and if so, what could it be, cos otherwise it drives fine.its only when you floor it or drop down to 3rd it gets to 5000 rpms and around 100mph and then just looses power!!Plz help me!!!

Your need to replace your intercooler circulation pump. All C32's will need to have theirs replaced eventually. Do a search and you will definitely find all the information you need. Basically, your supercharger is shutting down becuase your intake air temperatures are getting too high (safety feature).

He speaks the truth. Just about the same exact issue happened on my C32 (on the road, but the nonetheless), the whole 84-85MPH thing to a tee. The IC pumps on this car are practically considered a wear item, even by the dealerships - if you have an extended warranty, bring it in and tell them the IC pump is dead and don't let them give you any grief
