Hey man , no biggie, was a gasket. "intake manifold gaskets" replaced under warranty.
Car runs amazing lol.
Hope you had a great X mas.
Guys the folks at DTLA MB service are amazing.
I have been there 2x Service A was 217.00 included OIL and free rental C230 sport with AMG tips!!
The first service was 92.00. Barry or Tino are the guys to see if anybody is fearful of R A P E.
Sam I know you have connections so this is only for the Los Angeles folks who are not happy with service depts at other places.
They also were supportive of the ECU tune and I had em rolling over the r comp slicks on the rear!! Guy says "uh you need new rear tires" I say " uh no they are superior to fully treaded Pirellis..LOL
Oh what a fun day.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
I had this a while back...very rough idle, the car was shaking. Apparently, there's some kind of magnet used with the camshafts that "got stuck in the open position" which is what I was told by my SA.

Holly Shi@, I just had my light come on today.
It is code P2187 (system too lean at idle, Bank#1) I cleared the code. I will see if it comes back on. I also had another light on about 2 weeks ago P0410? Aux air valve system x2. Cleared that code also and now this?
Time for some pros to chime in. What,s going on here? Car runs fast but slight misfire at Idle. I have a new camera set up in the ride you guys have got to get this set up
Will post info when I get Home.........

=========> If you have black engine oil gauge, it needs to be changed to the red one. I had same problem but after changing it never happen again.

Vadim, I think there is a new TSB that came out regarding this
It appears, that the bolts were not torqued properly during inital built, so gaskets leak after a number of miles.
Rick, have your local dealer do a TSB.

I have a scanner I use from the shop that does all the work for my Dealership. I am taking The Beast to the dealer to get the work done on Jan 3. I ordered the parts for the TSB, just to make sure they are in stock when I bring the car in. The parts are (2) intake gaskets, (10) intake bolts,
(1) harness, (2) misc other gaskets , (1) tube special sealer .
Also the S/A stated that the gaskets for the intake are a new type. I may just tighten down the bolts to spec and see if the light comes back on. Hey what about the post that talks about the oil dip stick?

On that TSB that James posted, why is there two different codes for the same problem?
What a rip off. Wow. That is waaaaay too expensive for what you get.
