it was one of the viable "rumors" as many e55's were negatively affected by the last recall.

my car was one of many that lost 50-65hp from the recall.

search "recall", "reflash", "ecu" and such and you'll find all the information you want and then some.

I stopped by "Private Lounge" yesterday and was cracking-up reading through that E55/E63 thread with you, Chappy and Mr. AMG moderator. Way to speak your peace!!! I like the way they are more than happy to edit your post. I think you are officially blacklisted now and your mugshot will be posted at all Mercedes dealers across the land.

Keep up the good fight.

thanks rock, i'm not going away in this matter. at least they've finally acknowledged there "might" be a problem with "some" e55's.

as far as being blacklisted, i know you were kidding but i'm not when i tell you that you have no idea how true that really is, or at least was.

Dude if thats true then thats messed up totally!
How can you prove this loss of Horsepower? I figure the only way would be pre and post Dyno. I'm thinking its lawyer time!

Exclamation

When I experienced the ECU reflash problem, Mercedes dealer agreed to a dyno test to determine if there was truely a loss of power (supercharger wasn't even working!!!) and was then overruled by MB USA, so don't count on Mercedes agreeing to any dyno tests. They did finally agree there was a problem and replaced ECU and eventually pulley. After several hundred miles car is now even more powerful than before reflash. I have never seen such a variation in performance in a car before. I truely believe their is +/- 50 HP lurking under the hood depending on how the car is tuned.
