ALSO CAN ANYONE ASSIST WITH 2 MORE THINGS:
-Does anyone know how to verify if the mileage shown hasn't been tampered with.
-How do I change the GPS nav map to my region(Southern Africa) and from Japanese to English?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe....I have a 2011 C63 with a P31 package on my radar. Is it doomed? WDDGF7HB4BF646501. Oh...and would you be able to tell me if it includes the LSD?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi,
I have a buyer that wants proof that my car is not affected
VIN: WDDGJ7HB4CF793370
It is a 2012 (and I told him it shouldn't be affected), but I'm guessing the datacard would suffice for proof.
Thanks in advance

Only way to be sure is to pull the valve covers and look at them. If you don’t already know, 99% chance that they have not been replaced.
