Hi,
I own a W209 200K. The only modification i` ve done is pulley (Vaeth) + Intercooler.
Well... I de-activate ESP, BAS, ABS... and i do a nice, but little Burn out. (I love my tires )
I thought that only one wheel spun, because we don` t have a LSD on our CLK` s.
Rear left or rear right...
When i got out of my car, i looked down at the street (where i did the Burn out), and there were skid marks from both my tires...
What does this mean?
-Does my car has a... LSD???
-No! So what happened?
Have a nice day...

 

Noone?

 

im not sure, but i thought i read somewhere that you have to do something special to really deactivate esp... so maybe your esp wasnt really deactivated?

 

I didn` t de-activate ESP (pressing the ESP Off button), but i got into Dyno Mode. So i think the ESP de-activated.

 

what are you tyring to say why your tires spun and both of them ? duh ! you are driving a benz the tires spun because you have a bad *** car

 

It's normal if you launch hard w/esp off.
With esp on, it can save your tires :p

I did it once (w/esp off), the tire print is "S" shaped
and hitted the sidewalk after

 

This is what i`m trying to say.
I know that wheels spin, if you launch ESP Off.
Our cars don` t have LSD. Supposed only ONE rear wheel spins, cuz the differential gives power only one (rear) wheel each time.
Am i right?

 

I'm not that professional to full answer it.

new MB models don't have LSD in hardware, true !
But those esp/asr ...stuff are trying to simulate LSD
softwarewise.
The factory differential is capable of doing 20~30% (?)
distribution, off the esp, you can still twist.

 

I see...
I de-activared ESP, BAS, ABS, but the "softwarewized LSD" did work.
I think that ESP exists (even on Dyno Mode), but it doesn` t block the wheels, only helps them to to find a better traction.

 

What's LSD ?.. My CLK spins both wheels as well with the ESP off.... Maybe is the version for the Greek market like that. BTW Nick could you give me more details for the mod's you've done
