Bad Smell after Field Measure installed
2013 R350 BlueTec, Toronto, Canada. We got Field Measure installed two months ago. Ever since then the exhaust gas smells very bad, ideal for a while the whole area stinks. Anyone experience the same?
Dealer also got intake manifold replaced two weeks ago. Engine light popped after Field Measure installed.

Yes, it wasn't any smell before. I have a super good nose, btw. This early morning, I smelled the same at a red light, found a Blue Efficient E Class next to me. Wondering this Field Measure might be using something similar to this Blue Efficient, maybe another scam?

just got mine installed yestarday on my R350 2011 (bluteec field measure), have'nt noticed bad smell so far my noticed lack of power from motor whwn cold and motor stall when cold and putted to gear, dealer says must let the car heatin some minutes before putting it in gear, have experienced some loss of power or engine stall after your field mesure ??

Not sure about the power lost, but make sense, they were cheating right? I don't drive this car often, mostly only for long trips, learned diesel cars are bad for short trips, we've replaced the NOX sensor at 50kkm, paid 3k, same problem happened before the Field Measure was installed (NOX sensor again replaced to get rid of that engine light).

Dont think they were cheating necessarily, they never admitted to it just settled. Even if they were the mapping that they changed wouldnt cause issues cold start and honestly the mileage difference would be negligable if assuming anything is common among diesels US over. Even the VWs that WERE cheating didnt have a huge loss of mileage from what Ive scene. Those 4 bangers are still getting low 40s mpg depending on the application and driving (maybe 3mpg give or take difference).
With the amount of poor mechanics abilities I have read about on these AEM updates would look there first. Not to mention if its been one day maybe everything in the trans needs to be relearned although it shouldnt stall on ya.
