Question Renncpe

I took my 2002 ml55 in this morning for service and asked them to change the fuel management settings. They told me they could not do it because it was against the law (They said it violated federal emmissions standards). Is this true? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I have never heard that one before! I will have to add it to the other stupid things a Mercedes Service Center has told a customer. Did you talk to a service writer or a tech, I have found thet the techs are much more helpful that services writers when it comes to makeing changes to things. Were do you live? I might be able to point the way to a shop that is not so closed minded, to the customers needs.

Fuel Re-map

I live in Houston. This particular dealership also said that they were trying to work up a collaboration with Renntech but that MBUSA has shut it down. I am surprized because you made a stop at this same dealership when you came through Houston a few months ago. I would certainly appreciate it if you could recommend somewhere/someone.

In fact, my car is still in service so if you could recommend someone to talk with I would appreciate it. That way I don't have to take it back in. Thanks.

Yes, please let us know, because MB Greenway Plaza did not want to do it!

Thanks in advanced
