It was the ecu!!!

A while back I posted a thread title "c32 lol". It was about how my SC didn't work, but then all of the sudden it did. I was convinced it was an ecu glitch. Most of you were convinced it was the ic pump. Well..... After I had a lawyer jump down Mercedes Benz USA"s throat they replaced my ecu for free under the federal emissions warranty. It did fix my problem. It was in fact my ecu that was bad. Not the ic pump. I think I am the first person in c32 history to have this problem! I have never heard of this problem before and i would love to hear if anyone else has. Thanks for the help ... Even though it wasn't the ic pump it runs even better with the Johnson cm30

Did the ECU get oil contamination or just have a defect? Good to hear you got it fixed for free, and I would have liked to be there when your lawyer had a talk...

No contamination, just a bad ecu. Weird huh? And yes, it was great to have somebody with legal power to have a talk with them so they know that i mean business!! They tried to avoid the warranty because it was going to expire in 1 month from when I brought it in... Lucky me!!!
