Yes, they will void any warranty issue resulting in pre-mature failure from the extra tourqe and HP ! So I was told from the Markham dealership the other day. If they find out or choose to look. From what I know they can only tell when the ECU was last accessed, not what was done to it! correct me anybody if I am wrong!

I was also told that there is a specific method of opening the ECU (being heated during its removal), that it could be made to look as if nothing had been done at all. I am sure it all comes down to whos working on your car, and Im hoping if/when I drop my car off to a dealership to have it worked on its someone professionally trained given the value of our vehicles. Im sure if someone is qualified to the extent that I would expect them to be when working on my car they would be able to tell if the ECU has been tampered with.
Given the circumstances and the fact that it is a brand new car I decided to opt out of the tune despite how badly everything inside me wants to get it done. Its pretty much a judgement call but I would never be able to justify to myself when dishing out money for something if it werent covered under warranty OR you could always just destroy the entire car yourself, claim it as an accident and get a new one through insurance lol, but that too seems like a lot of work and effort.
Regardless of what you decide, GL and safe driving, for all those getting the tune this spring or january depending on whats been decided I truely, deeply HATE YOU all, lol! J/K. But I am very jelous that you have been able to pull the trigger. Hopefully we can always get Jerry to come back again and do it in a year or so.
Anyway for all those getting it done, again, more horsepower 2 u n ill b Cing you as you pull away!

1) Adding any aftermarket performance part will void your warranty if a Catastrophic failure can be attributed the performance part. (extremely hard to prove).
2) As for an ECU tune, MBCanada can only flash ECU's and do NOT have the ability to read the ECU. This is according to my MB shop foreman (dealing with him for the last 6 years.) He knows I Tune and Track my AMG's and supports me 100%.
3) If you were to have a catastrophic engine failure you can always flash back to stock before you have the car towed to the dealer if its a concern. I know of some enthusiasts that have purchased a separate ECU to tune and use the stock ECU when they go in for service. Over kill but effective.
4) If we reverse engineer this (from my research) there has never been an AMG Catastrophic engine failure claim in Canada that has had a warranty claim denied due to an ECU tune.
Just some food for thought.

i have never heard of an issue with cars modded with ECU's going back to the dealer, every car i have in my family has a modded ECU,
I believe North44 and me have the same mutual friend that mods our cars, and if a problem does ever arrive at a certain benz dealer in the GTA regarding mods on our cars, one quick phone call from him to the service department and the service at the dealer will be performed "no questions asked"

You guys think you can put me in touch with this M-Benz service rep so I can get the same treatment? Last thing I want is to do the tune and then end up with headaches later down the line. If you know someone who would go to bat I would most definitely be getting this done.

So the tuning will be done in woodbridge? I just signed up for a reflash on my C32. Woodbridge is good as my C32 is stored and has no winter tires. I don't want to drive in the cold/snow if the weather is crap.
1/22 in woodbridge? I'm in RH, anyone else from that area?

eurocharged in toronto sweet!!
This is sweet, its too bad my beast is away for the winter. I am amazed at how many GTA Benz/tuning enthusiasts there are, Summer time I am always looking to meet up with fellow enthusiasts, hopefully Ill get a chance to meet some of you, I look forward to it. By the way, have many/any of you opting for a 180mm pulley have a specific reason vs the 172mm? Id really appreciate your'e input as I myself am debating on which to do. Anyways take care and best of luck with the modding, we are very fortunate to have Eurocharged offer such a opportunity and hopefully to those who are unable to attend this time we can try and convince Jerry to make it down maybe come March/April, if there is enough of us..

People go with the 172mm as it doesn't generate as much heat as the 180mm. You will love either one tho.
Bring your ecu with you, we don't need the car to tune her, and you can take advantage of the MASSIVE discount on tuning!
you said bar singular....lol
