I think basically all tunes do that. Restart the car a few times and it should go away.

I did before/stock runs on two separate local dynojets. Once I replace my faulty map sensor I'll get some tuned numbers to compare. Clearly not a same day comparison but I'll do them on a day where the weather is similar and on the same Dyno.

Did the map sensor trip a code? What were the symptoms of a bad sensor?

My car threw a code twice with the message attached in image below. Doing some searching on here it seems like a fairly common issue, it sounds like once they're replaced the issue is solved. I cleared it both times so I was actually waiting for it to come back on so I could book it into Mercedes, but it hasn't happened since.

Never had any errors with EC. I loaded the tunes 7-8 times.

I have several files:
Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 2 Pop n Burble.

today I added Stage 2 PnB just to check it out. It was too aggressive and went back to my Stage 2. No errors.

2015 Mercedes CLS 400 4matic
Does DME offer a tune for the CLS400. I have been talking to a guy at the Boston Eurocharged location. I actually got him to admit all the numbers on the website were wrong. Kind of cool that he had his web guy literally changing things as we were chatting over facebook. I see most reliable tunes seem to claim just about 70HP gain. I'm curious how Eurocharged goes from 329 to 460-480. Since I didn't want to pay Rentech pricing and DME didn't seem to have CLS400 tunes (although they have the C400 and C43 so...). Any last words good or bad about Eurocharged? If it is going to cost me about $1500 I want to make sure I'm getting what I paid for. I also want to make sure I'm not paying to blow up the car. Thanks

I can feel the power drop on the eurocharged after 5500rpm and the dme is still pulling until redline. The boys at dme sent me back my tune within an hour and call me to check up and answer all my texts, so that's why there my choice

so what led your car in the shop for 6 weeks with the EC tune?

Look, everyone has their favorite and I'm sure every tuner has their set of customers who are pissed, I see a lot of EC bashing in this thread, all I can say is I've used them on 5 of my AMG cars and never had an issue....luck, maybe.....but I've been happy with the gains over stock and never had to take it into the shop because of a tune related issue.
