ESP Problem
Hello, I have the problem, I have a CLK rebuilt 200k on CLK 500
when I do start at full throttle and then brake immediately electronics control to idle
I'd like a burnout but that will not do, even if I esp off and press the triangle in the speedometer will light goes nothing! what can it be? I esp installed by clk 500! I need to install an AMG esp?
thanks for all information, sorry for my english! thanks

NO LONGER ACTIVE
Even with ESP off via the dash button, it's still partially active. Try using "dyno mode" - search the forum and you'll find instructions to enable that which will completely disable ESP.

So even in Dyno Mode ESP is intervening? In my CLK550, if I start off the line at full throttle, ESP will kick in and kill all the fun by throttling the engine back. If I turn it off with the dash switch, I can do a full-throttle start, but it's still using the brakes to prevent some wheelspin, so no "burnouts". Only in Dyno Mode can you do a burnout. I have hear (via Glyn) that this can actually kill the power steering pump. I can't figure out how or why, but Glyn is a trustworthy source, so there must be something to that.
