clk350
S and C mode
Hi,
I drive an 07 clk350 coupe / 16K miles....
I haven't noticed a difference in mileage. However, when the tranny is in "S" mode, the car hesitates for a second when depressing the gas pedal to accelerate from a stop sign or red light. It's very odd, usually happens when the car is cold; less noticeable if accelerating slowly. (Anyone else have the same experience?)
As for the "C" mode, if I'm at a stop sign or red light, the car tends to roll backwards if I take my foot off the brake. [Always reminding myself not to do that.]
thx.

Get yourself a sprint booster, it will eliminate the lag when accelerating.

Hey Wes...car is looking good. Does the sprintbooster do anything to the warranty? how easy is it to install?

Nope, doesn't do anything to the warranty. Install is pretty straight forward. Just remove the pedal and plug the SB in. It is definitely worth the money!

C/W- Comfort/Winter Mode
Theres something wrong with your transmission...you may have to take it into MB to have the TCU reprogrammed.
The car is not suppose to roll back in -C- mode....
