Tuned CLK (W209)
CLK:: tuned

Hello STAR fans!!
My CLK 200K W209 has finally been upgraded!!
We put the Va(e)th Kit + intercooler!
The car accelerates faster, but i cannot run over the 220km/h. (After 200km/h it accelerates too... slow up to the 220km/h)
Berore the upgrade i could run over 235km/h.
What` s wrong??
Thank` s in Advance...

Re: CLK:: tuned

Congrats !
It's hard to guess the root cause.
Check the DAS if any error msg stored in your CLK.
We have S/C overheat interlock cases, that kills acceleration immediately.
Another case is the wrong code setting, Vmax limit to ~220 Km/hr
FYR.

Tuned CLK (W209)
Today the CLK passed easilly the 240km/h...
I don` t know why i couldn` t pass the 220km/h.
Maybe the petrol wasn` t good enough or i don` t know... :p

Anyway... The next upgrade is on the way!!
AMG brake system and AMG exhaust!!!
