Ecu reset by mb dealer?

Hello mb fans!

How is it possible to know if the dealer "re flashed" my ecu during the service maintenance? Is there a way to tell?


The reason I am curious is because the ml63 consumption is 1 liter down per 100km! This can't be only due to the cold and new oil correct

Thanks

I would think you would notice the missing power if the dealer re-flashed your ECU? I'm not aware of a way to tell without hooking it up to the diagnostics system.

It should be noted on your service invoice.
The dealer has to document what they did in order to charge MB for warranty work, so they should plainly state whatever updates they performed.

I posed this to Renntech and they responded the only way is try a speed test to see if speed limiter is present
