OEM CPS purchased, have installed Behr radiator and flushed transmission (two weeks ago). Will have the CPS installed in a couple of weeks after new pully arrives. All hopes are on the TCU tune to be honest.
You probably don't want to hear this but I had the CPS replaced when I had the car last serviced about 6 months ago. It made no difference what so ever. The only thing that helped a little was the sneaky ECU reset. That usually lasted about a day and then it's back to its usual self.

I know that folks with AMG and other high performance cars don't take cost of gas into account when getting into one but it's just a refreshing change not having to fill up every 4 days.
I know what you mean. I read about this before I bought the C32 so it was no surprise. The cost of gas is to be expected however the frequency of filling up and the reduced range really sucks. Do other AMG's have better range?

My other AMG, CLK55 W208, is just as thirsty. If anything the C32 would have been the most economical being a 6 and much smaller engine than its other V8, V12 peers.

Btw, congrats on winning the World Cup! Well done!

Thanks, all in a days work

The economy is fine, I just wish they gave it a bigger tank. A lot of luxury car get 5-600km per giant tank in a wasteful way.
