Hard to tell from the pics, but that pink stuff looks like a rag or expanding foam. Almost seems like they put it there to stop a leak maybe. Was that hose removed and reinstalled by the shop? I've never seen anything like that and would be incredibly concerned it could be blocking coolant or oil flow, which is extremely important on a turbo car. Also be concerned something could break off into the coolant and damage the bearings in the turbos.

Someone please correct me if that is not a coolant or oil line.

 

Oh my. Who did the job? If you are local to us in Los Angeles I will be happy to take a look.

 

I would not worry too much about the dried coolant.
You can have them re-crimp the line.

 

That doesn't look like dried coolant to me, it looks like fibers??

 

My local eurocharged dealer. I had an ecu tune & downpipes with them before. They did a really good job. I’m not sure what happened this time. I would bring it to you guys, unfortunately i’m in the midwest

 

I checked & can confirm it’s coolant

 

Wow I would avoid driving the car and get it to a reputable shop immediately for them to look it over.

 

And that’s not the only thing. Found a small dent by the gas door . Bringing it in the dealer to let them fix it and look over the engine. I just keep finding more things that adds up 😡 Eurocharged completely lost my trust after this one

 

Damn... I'm an EC user and this is definitely concerning... I'd be really upset. Please keep us updated!!

 

I will. After spending over $11k with them. I’d except them to put everything back correctly & not rushed it out like that.

 

LOL, sounds like Eurocharged to me.

Sucks you have to deal with this OP. What shop/dealer did you take it to in the mdiwest? Looks like a hackjob of an install on that coolant line, makes me wonder where else they cut corners installing those turbos, oil lines etc. etc.

 

I wonder that too, i’m pretty sure there’s a lot more things that I’ll find. I’ll post more detail pics when I get it back from the dealer. It’s the Eurocharged location in Cincinnati Ohio.

 

Incredible what looks like a botched job! Eurochaged should fire the mechanic and install correctly a new pair of turbochargers.

 

Keep us posted. I bought a handheld tuner from Eurocharged for my W204 C63 a long time ago but never ended up tuning it myself because there wasn't any support locally (I'm in Indiana). Fast forward a couple years and I discover there's a Eurocharged dealer in Cincy. I considered getting my '18 C43 tuned there, but when I called to ask some questions about the process, the guy I spoke with sounded like he couldn't care less whether I showed up or not.

That was a red flag for me. Sorry you had a negative experience as well. There are some good Eurocharged reps on the board, hopefully they'll step up to help rectify this situation.

 

I had a tune and downpipes installed by Eurocharged in Florida. They did an overall crappy job. I will never use nor recommend them ever again. Renntech is the way to go and I learned the hard way.

 

Can you give more details on the crappy job? Renntech was actually my first choice. I was going to send the car down to florida to have them tune it but then I met the owner of Eurocharged in the cincinnati location and he was a pretty cool guy. Got ecu/dp and they did a pretty good job, then I decided to get the pure 900 turbos. They told me it'll be 2-3 weeks to get everything done, but ended up being 2 months. The long wait and now dealing with this bs. Its as if they don't want their customer to come back. This is def my biggest regret choosing eurocharged over renntech, big lessen for me

 

I'll keep you posted. I'm not sure who to contact from eurocharged to get this resolved. I honestly just want my everything to be put back correctly and get this headache over with. The dent is something small and can be fix, forgetting to plug the air intake, i'm not even mad, but there's just so many small things that really adds up, it's pissing me off so much. They don't have any respect for their customer car. As of now i'd avoid this Eurocharged location and just go with Renntech for your c43 for that peace of mind

 

Eurocharged over-filled my transmission (dropped tranny to install downpipes) which caused a substantial leak which continued for two months. My garage floor was a mess and the underside of my car was oily from front to rear. Included in the cost they were supposed to dyno my car both before the tune and after the tune. They did neither, using the excuse that they did not have a tech to run the dyno. Regarding the ecu tune I detected no increase in power or torque. I recently contacted Renntech and discussed my needs with John. He explained their tunes and other options available, and I was impressed. I drove down, toured the facility which is very large and impressive. I also met the owner, from Germany originally, who is a very polite and courteous person. He has a background working with and being employed by AMG in Germany. He is very knowledgeable engineer. Renntech produces many items from womb to tomb such as carbon fiber pieces, exhausts, and intakes; and has a fully staffed computer design/tech department. Customers from all over the U.S. ship their cars to Renntech. While I was there I noticed one customer's car from Pennsylvania. I feel very fortunate that I live close enough to drive to their facility.

I left my car with them and rented a car for my 3 hr. drive back home. They dyno'd by car before the ecu tune (deleting the eurocharged tune) and installed Phase I turbo's. They again dyno'd my car after their tune. The owner of the company drove my car extensively in order to satisfy himself that my tune met his expectations. He mentioned to me that is was a "beast". The Renntech tune increased my horsepower at the crank to 660 and torque to 645. I was provided a printout of the before and after dyno results. The before dyno (the eurocharged tune) hp & torque was erratic and unstable and only showed a slight increase in horsepower/torque over stock hp and torque. The after dyno improvement showed a 25% gain in horsepower and 15% gain on torque. I was provided an OBDII tuner to bring the car back to stock if I so desire. In summary, I am pleased with my Renntech experience.

 

Wow. So the seals was damaged. Thanks for the info. I’ll don’t think I’ll ever do a DP mod.

 

No the seals were not damaged. The transmission was over-filled and leaked back out of the overfill inlet. Installing one piece catless downpipes requires dropping the tranny to access the downpipes. Otherwise you can install a two piece which requires cutting the pipes which I chose not to do in that manner. A Mercedes shop has the proper measuring gauge for filling a transmission which Eurocharged did not.

Provide evidence that is, like that picture.

Or replace it yourself, it's not hard. You just take the crimps off, replace them.

 

Get rid of those *****ty clamps man! They leak! Take it back to the SAME shop where the work was done. If you jump shops and something goes really wrong, who you gonna try to blame? Don't do that. If you can't go back, find a reputable shop and have them change the clamps out and inspect all the work YOU got charged for. "Inspect what you expect". Tell me... you can "see" what was done wrong, correct 9 (the pics)? Any chance there might be some shoddy work somewhere else that you can't see? Are all those bolts/nuts that you can't see torqued correctly? Everything else replaced properly. Hummmm.....

I'm not trying to be mean. Truly, I'm not. Go back and make them make it right. It's your car and your money. Get 'er done.
