weird top end acceleration
At about 3 oclock in the morning today i decided to take my car for a ride since the roads were deserted in mexico. After going around some twistys and getting a little sideways i hit a major road for a top end run and when i hit 115 the cars acceleration just seemed to stop. I know this isnt how my car accelerates since when i hit 140 in it before it just felt like it had so much more. Anyone know why, my guess was overheating

Intercooler pump. It won't throw a code so your dealer will try to get out of fixing it, unless they've seen the problem before.

Thats the problem, trust me. Tell the dealer and they will replace it for you.

Does anyone know the MB recall number or possibly a TSB number on this? I was hoping to get this done on my next visit to the dealership.
